Description from store
Display #Anchors offers an easy way to see
all (invisible) anchors in a page, to make it easier to link to a specific part of a webpage.
【 FEATURES 】
- Finds all anchors in a page and shows a marker next to it.
- Does not alter the layout; so no jumpy pages or expensive repaints.
- The anchored content is highlighted on Hover over the marker.
- The marker is highlighted on hover over the anchored content.
- Click on the toolbar button to remove all markers.
- The extension consumes no memory until it's actually used (using an event page).
【 Customization 】
- You can set a custom shortcut to toggle the extension (Alt + Shift + A by default).
- You can customize the label of the displayed anchor.

【 HISTORY 】
Before creating this extension, I've been using the "Display Anchors" feature of Chris Pederick's
"Web Developer" extension for Chrome.
An unfortunate "feature" of this implementation is that the markers cause changes to the layout, resulting in some
loss of time to find the position of the page before activating the anchors (and a broken layout looks ugly).
Besides that, the extension had too much overhead (it activates on every page, and consumes memory even when I did
not use it). This encouraged me to develop a new extension that offers the desired feature in an optimal way.

- (2023-02-08) Peter Baldwin: This is one that fits into the "Where have you been all my life?" category!
- (2022-08-10) Anatol Bogun: That's a really useful and simple extension, thank you! I wonder if it could have a DOM element 'id' option because it's possible to use a hashtag URL anchor with a DOM id. Some pages may get too cluttered with this, so probably not as a default. However, it can be helpful for websites that don't have enough regular anchors defined. Just as an idea, but the extension is already great as is.

- (2020-04-09) Dylan Julian: Great! Non-intrusive and lightweight.
- (2020-02-06) RootWebGod: Display #Anchors extension version 1.4 works fairly well for me in in Google Chrome version 80.0.3987.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) on macOS Mojave version 10.14.6 (18G3020). My only (minor) complaint is that with certain web sites, in particular, a version of TestRail, toggling anchors to be visible causes most of the body content to shift or indent to roughly half-way towards the opposite side of the page, from left to mid-way to the right.
- (2018-11-01) Nick Sedillos: Extremely useful for finding your way around dense documents! Suggestions: a hotkey and/or context menu option that you could toggle with instead of the toolbar button; a smaller, less obtrusive display option (maybe with a tooltip for revealing anchor names?) so that it would be easier to leave it on all the time.
- (2018-03-09) Ken Gillam: Quick, easy, works!
- (2018-02-06) Fantastic extension which does what you need it to in an unobtrusive, simple and quick fashion. Couldn't live without it!
- (2017-12-02) Joseph Karkar: This is fantastic. I was searching for a way to gather the anchor point for a URL which I had done in the past but recall it wasn't a fun process. Came across this extension after a simple google search and couldn't be more happy. Great Job Rob W.!
- (2017-08-02) Felipe Alvarez: Good job. Would be nice to be able to avoid overlap of text. See for example: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features.managing.as.html
- (2017-04-15) XEO XTH: Excelente para crear bookmarks que se carguen en determinada posición de la pagina. Muchas gracias por esta extensión tan útil.
- (2017-04-11) Joel Vasallo: Awesome. This is great for sites that still don't have nice anchor links. :)
- (2016-10-14) Kellen Razzano: Works very well. Great for sharing URLs to take the user to a specific part of the page. Also nice for devs to get a quick look of what's anchored.
- (2016-07-05) Marlon Joseph: Great to link to a specific section of a page in a large document.
- (2016-06-29) Madis: Very helpful!
- (2016-06-22) Peter: Works great! Been using it for a few months. It's great to be able to use anchors when sharing large pages with others.
- (2016-06-09) Florian Schüller: As I saw from the other comments - an overview ("TOC" sidebar) would be perfect but I didn't expect that - so 5 stars...
- (2016-01-18) Vladimir Alexiev: Depending on markup, sometimes the anchor may go over text (eg http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/guidelines/cona_3_6_1_work_type.html#3_6_1_18_5). A "TOC" sidebar listing all anchors would be nice
- (2015-12-24) Seth Miller: Nifty little extension!
- (2015-07-28) Mackenzie Zastrow: The days where I needed to go into the inspector to get an id are over. The hrefs will sometimes end up moving outside the page, but as long as you have a little bit of space to the left of the hrefs, it's good to go. Single purpose extension that works exactly as you need it to. And no need for any permissions.
- (2015-04-25) Pulkit Singhal: Fantastic, did what i needed it to!
- (2014-08-28) Philipp Keller: finally an extension that helps me bookmarking a specific paragraph of a webpage - thanks!
- (2014-05-29) Jeff Berkey: Appears to work as described.

- (2022-11-29, v:1.4) Anis Cerise: Displays anchors
Hi How does it work when I am on a webpage and I want to send a link in a part of it to someone ? I see the anchor but when I right click on it and copy the url it doesn't work. Thank you very much I'm looking any tuto on youtube but don't find. - (2017-02-05, v:1.3) Maor Conforti: "Display Notifications" Permission?
Latest version requires the "Display notifications" permission from Chrome. WHY? - (2016-03-09, v:1.0.6) Adam Spiers: make text optional
Presumably there are two main cases for this extension: a) easily deeplinking within documents which don't natively support deeplinking, and b) web development where you actually want to see how anchors are laid out on the page. The anchor name text often obscures the text on the page, and in scenario b) this inconvenience is still worthwhile. But in scenario a) you don't actually care about the anchor name (and if you did, you could easily see it via mouseover since the anchors are hyperlinked), so it'd be better if the anchors were instead simply indicated by the conventional paragraph mark character. So please can you make it an option whether the anchor name or a paragraph mark is shown for each anchor? - (2015-12-24, v:1.0.6) Seth Miller: Add keyboard shortcut
Would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to toggle anchors. - (2014-07-01, v:1.0.2) Changes Layout
Changes layout contrary to how extension says it will behave on this page: http://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/21-basic-addressing-and-variable-declaration/
