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); to the bookmark bar.
