Feature #773

Updated by Daniel Curtis over 8 years ago

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*. 
 *# In the *Name* text box add: 
 <pre> 
 Send Link 
 </pre> 
 *# In the *URL* text box add: 
 <pre> 
 javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href); 
 </pre> 

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

 Just drag-and-drop "Send Link":http://javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href); Link":javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href); to the bookmark bar.
