## Description

Link to Highlight lets you create shareable links that jump straight to a specific passage on a page.

Select any text on a webpage, right-click, and choose "Copy Link to Highlighted Text." The copied link uses the standard text fragments syntax, so when anyone opens it in a browser that supports the feature (Firefox 131+, Chrome, Edge), the page automatically scrolls to and highlights that exact passage.

Useful for:

Pointing coworkers to the exact line in a long doc or article
Citing a specific sentence when sharing research
Sending someone straight to the relevant part of a long page, instead of "scroll down, it's somewhere in the middle"

No account, server, or special hosting required — everything happens locally in your browser.
