Ever wanted to copy a hidden anchor in a page and had trouble finding it?

Use this tool to reveal hidden anchors in webpages.

User reviews

It mostly works, but it's quite clumsy. I prefered the "Show #anchors", which works by a simple click at the extension button (instead of having to right click, then navigate, then click again). The other extension is also easier to identify where are the anchors.

Show Anchors extension version 1.7 does not appear to function at all for me in Google Chrome version 80.0.3987.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) on macOS Mojave version 10.14.6 (18G3020). As an alternative, the Display #Anchors extension version 1.4 does work for me in the same browser version.
