How to Add a “Send Link” Button to the Bookmarks Bar in Chrome

iOS Development / By

Really helpful tutorial about how to add a bookmarklet to your Chrome Bookmarks Bar that emails the URL to the current page open in Chrome.

I needed to do this recently so this really came in handy, and it’s super easy to implement.

Basically here are the steps:

  1. Open Chrome (if it’s not already…).
  2. Right-click the Bookmarks bar and select Add Page.
  3. In the Name textbox, input the word Send Link.
  4. In the URL textbox, input the following:
    javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href);
  5. Make sure that the Bookmarks bar folder is selected and click OK.
