I see what you mean since I've also ended up with highlighted text that is very unhelpful, but I think that you are directing your annoyance at the wrong party. Scroll To Text Fragment is a web feature that can be used to make a useful experience, or a not so useful experience. Like

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: Scroll To Text Fragment

- ok... So to chime in here. Not sure the best way to reach the folks who created this functionality. There needs to be a way to turn this feature off. It's been distracting and annoying for a couple of years now, and any flag or setting to turn it off is gone. Why isn't there

Thanks PhistucK. So why isn't there an option to disable the text highlighting in the web API? . The first poster in the thread started sharing qualitative feedback about this feature, so it seem seems appropriate to continue that. On Tue, 10 Oct 2023, 11:04 PhistucK, wrote: > crbug.com is the

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: Scroll To Text Fragment

Hi, scroll to text links can come from any location. They're implemented by adding some guff to the end of any URL. For example, someone could send me a link, or a website could include them. I don't think it's reasonable for me to expect that everyone changes their habits, so I won't do that. It

Chromium is the basis for Chrome, including on Android. If you want to file a request for Chrome only, you probably should direct that request to Google, not here. Mike suggested using crbug.com/new to file your feature request. This thread is an intent-to-ship for Blink, it's not the place for

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: Scroll To Text Fragment

Thanks for the explanation. But I don't like the scroll to text fragments. They're annoying, and have never been useful. There seem to be only two ways that this feature is used: 1. The first sentence of a page is highlighted, which is completely redundant and patronising. Yes Chrome, thank you

The feature can be disabled in Safari https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/14l1gcu/how_to_disable_safari_automatically_highlighting/, so it's a Chrome specific issue that it can't be disabled On Fri, 6 Oct 2023, 08:06 K. Moon, wrote: > (Incidentally, it appears Safari 16+ also supports this

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: Scroll To Text Fragment

You haven't said where your scroll-to-text links are coming from, but I assume it's a search engine, which is the most common case. If you don't like the quality of the links, the proper place to address your complaint is to that search engine. As this feature has shipped (it appears all the way

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: Scroll To Text Fragment

If the URL doesn't contain a scroll-to-text fragment, then this feature doesn't get invoked. The site that serves you the URL is responsible for deciding whether or not to include a scroll-to-text fragment. On Thu, Oct 5, 2023, 11:59 AM Adam Semenenko wrote: > Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

Sorry Thomas, I should have specified that I am using Android. From what I can tell there's no way to disable this anti-feature on Android. Also, while the macOS option removes some distraction, Chrome still pollutes the URL with unnecessary content that's awkward to remove. (I've never wanted to

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: Scroll To Text Fragment

You can right click on it and select "Remove highlight" or something like that. I agree that it is not a nice experience, it is annoying that it is left highlighted. Maybe the original duration was too short, but this is too long/permanent. Around five seconds might make sense and an option to

Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: Scroll To Text Fragment

Hi all, Is there a way to remove this option yet? The usability is getting worse for me. Now the ugly highlighting is sticking around for longer. I don't need Chrome to randomly highlight an arbitrary sentence of some websites in a different colour. It's distracting and annoying. I'd like to
