Google makes it easy to share text with friends and colleagues with a new Chrome 90 feature that lets you create links to selected text on a web page.

This new feature is rolling out now in Chrome 90 and is built on top of Google's "Scroll-To-Text using a URL fragment" feature that they introduced earlier this year and is only available in Chrome.

To create a link to selected text, simply highlight the text you want to link to and right-click on it.

When you click on the 'Copy link to highlight' option, Google Chrome will create a link to the text in the form of a text fragment URL, as shown by the URL below.

If the feature is not enabled in your browser, you can enable it by going to chrome://flags/#copy-link-to-text in Chrome 90 and enabling the 'Copy Link To Text' feature.

Once you enable the feature, restart Chrome when prompted, and the 'Copy Link To Text' feature will now be enabled.
