Google to Let you Link Directly to a Word or Phrase in Chrome
#1
Quote:Google is adding a new feature to Chrome that lets you link directly to a word or phrase without the need of special markup on the web page. This will make it much easier to share a section of a page that is relevant to the person you are sending it to, rather than having them read the entire page.

According to a new Chromium Gerrit entry that was posted yesterday, Google is getting ready to add a new flag that will let you test the "Scroll-To-Text using a URL fragment" feature. This feature allows a Chrome user to link directly to a word or a phrase at a particular web page.

Google has been working on this feature since January 4th 2019 and hopes to make this part of the standards process so that it is available to all browsers, rather than just Chrome.

According to a design document, this feature is being created because less than 1% of Chrome users utilize the "Find in page" feature and by allowing users to link specifically to a certain section, it will make it easier for users to find the content they are looking for.
