Emailing links of currently browsed URLs to various people using the default mail application should be a basic function for a web browser. Unfortunately, Chrome and it's open source counterpart Chromium do not possess this feature; however it is easy to add this basic functionality using a JavaScript bookmarklet.

• Open Chrome or Chromium

• Right-click the Bookmarks bar and select Add Page.
  1. In the Name text box add:
     

     Send Link
     

  2. In the URL text box add:
     

     javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href);
     

• Make sure that the Bookmarks bar folder is selected and click OK.
