Extension summary
Web Page Highlighter for Google Chrome allows a user to highlight a selected text fragment on a web page and generate a URL that automatically scrolls to the highlighted portion of the web page.
It is based on Chrome's native Scroll To Text Fragment feature. You might have noticed that clicking on Google Search results automatically takes you to a highlighted text fragment within the web page. This extension uses the same feature to highlight custom text.
Once the extension is installed, simply follow the steps below to generate the custom URL with highlighted text.
- Select text on a web page
- Right-click on the selection
- Select "Copy URL with Highlighted text”
The copied URL will scroll the web page to the highlighted text fragment.
Features:
- Multi-paragraph selection support
