Google's Link to Text Fragment extension cuts to the chase
Why it matters: Google’s text-highlighting feature could be incredibly helpful if widely adopted. I personally use Ctrl+F multiple times a day to zero in on specific text on a website. When following a text-targeting link, I would now be taken to the exact spot an author wants me to see rather than having to search the page for the specific body of text they are referencing.
