Let’s see some useful tips to improve productivity in chrome, these productivity tips are introduced in the latest chrome update. To get these productivity updates, make sure your chrome is up to date. If you are using an older version of Chrome, you should install the latest version of Chrome(v96.0.4664.45).

1. Link Sharing that navigates to exact text

We all know about the link-sharing in Chrome, which helps to copy the exact link in the address bar, so you can share with any medium. This is the usual approach, but sometimes you read an interesting text, and you might want to share that exact part with others. In this case, you might have had two options, just copy that text you want and share it or copy the link and share it and ask them to navigate to the content area that you want them to read by manual scrolling. This is not the way now.

What is the new way you get with the latest chrome update? Now, you can share the link that will auto navigate to the exact content part you want. How this can be achieved?

Just highlight the text/content you want to share. For example, on this page, I have highlighted a sentence in the middle of the page like below,

Then right-click on the highlighted text, you will see the option “Copy link to highlight” in the context dialog box. Click on it to copy the link with highlight.

Now you can share the copied link to any medium like text message, emails, etc… You can see the copied link that appends #:~:text=highlighted-text at end of the actual link.

You can use Ctrl + Shift + A to open the dropdown dialog to see the list of open Chrome tabs with the search option.
