ha you can now has icloud for blot (which is the backend of this blog) and this is great because much as i hate icloud, i hate dropbox more)…
browsers i hate : safari chrome vivaldi brave arc
i don’t hate firefox as much because it allows the (manual) installation of extensions prevented by other browsers, like bypass paywalls,
but then again some of the other more common browsers have had a built in feature for years where you can make a URL that links to a particular part of the text on a web page.
so say on a very long page in double dutch about bergson this link will take you straight to the title of of one of the books being discussed instead of having to scroll.
in firefox an extension was needed to do that, but now you don’t.
you do need to edit about:config to make it work
paste in dom.text_fragments.create_text_fragment.enabled click the “⇌” symbol so that “false” changes to “true”.
then you can highlight some text control click and select ‘create link to highlighted text’ which will put, in this case
https://everythingness.net/page/7#:~:text=Emily%20Herring%3A%20Henri%20Bergson
onto the clipboard
but if you don’t make it a hyperlink in html and leave the bare arse url it doesn’t work because the reference to the highlight in the url is not recognised as being part of the link.
