Allows you to easily see and copy hidden anchors within a webpage.
Ever wanted to copy a hidden anchor in a page and had trouble finding it?
Use this tool to reveal hidden anchors in webpages.
TO USE:
Right click an open webpage, and chose "Show Anchors". A small icon will appear next to the location of each hidden anchor in your current page. Simply click the anchor icon to copy the direct link to your clipboard.
SHORTCUTS:
- Ctrl+Shift+A will toggle anchors on the current tab.
- Alternatively, pressing the "Esc" button will hide the anchor icons on the current tab if they are visible.
CHANGELOG:
Version 1.8 - Squashed a bug that caused the Show Anchors icon to function improperly when hovering/clicking-to-copy.
Version 1.7 - Added ability to see any element with an "id" attribute, not just specifically anchor html elements, as was the case in previous versions
Version 1.6 - Fixed issues with the context menu after Chrome update
Version 1.4 - Anchors are kept inline to prevent the page from scrolling when exposing anchors. Hovering over them brings them to the front to easily copy the link to the clipboard.
PERMISSIONS:
Show Anchors requires access to data on all websites solely for the purpose of adding the icon to the page. No personal or browsing information is stored by this extension.

- (2021-04-16) Thomas Mayer: Not user friendly, not configurable.
- (2020-02-06) RootWebGod: Show Anchors extension version 1.7 does not appear to function at all for me in Google Chrome version 80.0.3987.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) on macOS Mojave version 10.14.6 (18G3020). As an alternative, the Display #Anchors extension version 1.4 does work for me in the same browser version.
- (2019-04-24) Paul Weiss: Works great for me! Vivaldi 2.5.1504.6, which is using Chrome 73.0.3683.88.

- (2018-02-03) Vince Aggrippino: It worked the first time I tried it, but not after that. e.g. Any page on Mozilla Developer Network.
- (2015-10-05) John Cassidy: This used to work. It's been a long time since I've seen it work on a page. I'm uninstalling.
- (2015-08-14) Jason King: Doesn't work :(
- (2014-12-09) Andrei: Doesn't even work on Wikipedia.
- (2014-11-14) Leo Ufimtsev: I liked it when it worked. Unfortunatley now it doesn't work. Running Chrome under Fedora 21 Linux. Similar extension "Display #Anchors" works thou.
- (2014-04-13) Didn't even find the anchors on Wikipedia articles. Useless.
- (2014-02-18) Loong Jin Chow: This extension doesn't support <foo id="..."> fragment links.
- (2013-12-09) John McCarthy: Excellent extension. I usually have to dig for anchors myself, and this greatly simplifies creating exact links.
- (2013-09-16) Stephen Eastridge: Doesn't work for me. I right click and select "show anchors" and get a few. I can open same page in Firefox and do show anchors and see dozens. Wish it would work as I use this frequently.
- (2013-09-08) Maarte n: Doesn't show anything, tried CTRL+SHIFT+A and pressing the button.
- (2013-09-05) Анастасия Секерко: good but i need option to "allways on" show anchors
- (2013-06-04) Jesse Glick: Did not consistently work in my experience. Have fallen back to Inspect Element context menu item.
- (2012-12-12) Use this everyday for work. Brilliant.
- (2012-11-23) Gaëtan Lehmann: I've wanted this feature for so long! It works just great. Thanks!
- (2012-09-14) Jörg von Frantzius: Works for <a> tags, but not for id attributes, which can equally be used in URLs separated with "#". Would it be possible to also support id attributes? It would be totally awesome, and a unique feature as far as I can tell, if a vertical navigation view could be displayed for headings that have anchors, with indentation according to heading level, like in Word's document structure viewer. Thanks for the extension!
- (2012-05-30) Much needed. Can't believe an extension like this didn't exist yet. A++++ would download again.
