Web Page Highlighter for Google Chrome

Web Page Highlighter enables users to highlight selected text on any web page and generate a unique URL that automatically scrolls to and highlights that text fragment. It leverages Chrome's native Scroll To Text Fragment API, making navigation and sharing easier and more precise.

Key Features:

  • Supports multi-paragraph text selection highlighting
  • Generates optimized URLs compatible across platforms
  • Works seamlessly on all major Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, Android WebView)

Simply select text, right-click, and choose "Copy URL with Highlighted text" to share specific content with ease. This extension enhances how you share and reference web content by pinpointing exact text locations directly via URLs.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Web Page Highlighter does not require any sensitive permissions.
