You can share or link directly to specific text on a webpage using Google Chrome through a feature called “Link to text.”
To use this feature, open the webpage in Chrome and highlight the text you want to share. Then right-click on the selected text and choose Copy link to highlight.
To create a link that opens directly to highlighted text:
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- Go to a page with text that you want to share.
- To highlight the text that you want to share, click and hold, then drag your mouse.
- To open the context menu, right-click on the highlighted text.
- Select Copy link to highlight.
- If you can’t select this option, this feature may not work for the selected content.
- Paste the link anywhere; for example, into an email or message thread.
Tip: To remove the highlight from the text in the linked content, right-click the highlighted text and select Remove highlight.
Chrome will create a special link that includes the exact text you selected. When someone opens this link, the page will automatically scroll to that section and highlight the text.
After copying the link, you can paste it into an email, message, or document to share it with others.
This feature is useful when you want to point someone to a specific quote, paragraph, or part of a long article without asking them to search for it manually.
If the option does not appear, make sure Chrome is updated to the latest version, as this feature may not be available in older versions.
Additionally, some websites may not support this feature due to how their content is structured.
In summary, Chrome allows you to share exact quotes or text by creating a direct link to highlighted content, making it easier to reference specific information quickly.
