Highlight Text in Chrome

1 points by Brett_S 5y ago ↗ HN

I discovered today that you highlight any text in Chrome by adding "#:~:text=ANY TEXT" to the end of the address.

Do you know any other tricks for Chrome?.

instead of using PDF viewer software you can use chrome for view you PDF files

I use that functionality everyday without thinking about it.

Copy & Paste the following line in your address bar of google chrome desktop browser and press enter. (Like we always do)

data:text/html, <html contenteditable><Title>Notepad</Title>

Boom!

Now Your webpage retrieval part is turned into notepad

Nice one. I extended that idea by adding it to my favourites so I don't have to type it each time.

This works in Firefox as well.

Turns out it works in Safari too.
