I am posting this a bit early and you may not have this on Google Chrome yet. Consider this as a placeholder, bookmark it and come back when you have this feature in the Stable or Beta version of Chrome.

As JeffreyBennett mentioned in comments on my original article, this was an easy thing to implement for Chrome developers. That is probably why we already have this flag in Chrome Canary version. It might be part of the next Dev channel release as well.

I enabled the flag “Enable Text Fragment Anchor” and restarted Chrome. I could not find a context menu (right-click menu) item or any other shortcut yet for the text anchor feature. However, I could do this manually.

Here is an example link that I created: https://www.chromestory.com/2019/02/chrome-scroll-to-text/#targetText=enter

I am hoping to find a keyboard shortcut or a menu item soon for this. I’ll create a video demo for you when it is ready. Would you like to subscribe to my new YouTube channel?
