[DutchPete]

Description

This Chrome extension does not work on Brave because you have disabled the feature at #8342.

Steps to Reproduce

1. install extension
2. select a text fragment on a webpage, right click and click on “Copy Link to Selected Text
3. add the link to an app.

Actual result:

When you click on the link it opens to the top of the webpage but not on the text fragment.

Expected result:

Clicking on the link opens the web page and scrolls to the text fragment which will be highlighted in yellow.

+1 on this being an important feature for some of my workflows. It would be really nice to have this behind a flag.

@dylan-sessler thanks for the support. I am not sure the Brave devs will take any notice.

Did you see this privacy concern? That could explain why it's not included.

@hobbes444 thanks for pointing that out. Out of frustration I stopped using not long after my last comment above. Turns out it was fortuitous in view of the issue page you linked to.

So, thanks again for that.

I've opened a new issue to formally request they re-add this flag: #42393
