Chrome can now generate an image with text snippet and link to its place on the page

On Chrome Canary 93 and Chrome beta 92 you can now enable a flag that will add an extra option to the snippet sharing menu. There you can create pictures with different styles that can be saved on your device. If you run an Instagram account with quote pictures, this feature is right for you.

Apart from this, you can also share a link that will navigate others straight to the place on the web page from where this snippet was taken. Unfortunately, this will work only on Chrome browsers so not everyone will be able to enjoy it. Chrome Canary should also have a bit more snippet templates compared to the current beta.
