Link to Text Fragment — Thomas Steiner

This extension allows for easily creating a special link to the currently selected text on a page via the context menu. When opening such a special link, a compatible browser will scroll the selected text into view and highlight it.

Usage instructions:

• Select the text that you want to link to.
• Right-click and choose "Copy Link to Selected Text" from the context menu.
• If the link creation succeeded, the selected text will be briefly highlighted in yellow.
• Paste your link wherever you want to share it.
💡 Pro-tip: you can set a keyboard shortcut.

You will be asked if you want to grant access to http://*/* and https://*/* when you create a link. This is to optionally add a polyfill for the Text Fragment feature. The polyfill is still work in progress.
