Deep Dive

build release

A web extension to deep link to any text on the web.

Install

Usage

  1. Highlight text on page to which a link is to be generated
  2. Right-click and select "Copy Deep Link"
  3. Open the link in a new browser tab
    This should jump to the text and highlight it

Demo

Mechanics

  1. ScrollToTextFragment format for deep links
  2. Window.find to jump to and highlight specified text on page

Notes

  • The deep link jumps to the first instance of the highlighted text it finds on the page
    To ensure you jump to the right portion, highlight a large enough region so that it's unique (or at least the first)
  • Without the extension, deep link will behave like plain links. That is, page opens, doesn't jump to text
