What about just keeping existing flags in Chrome [0] which used to be there? Is it too much to ask? I don't want to use Google search + Chrome so I can get scrolled into middle of a page without any context with random highlighted text, because Google search believes this is what I want to see.
Thankfully switching to Brave solved my issue and this stupid feature is disabled.

- shepherdjerred 4y agoOh, okay I see your problem now. I forgot that Google Search will take advantage of the browser feature to scroll-to-text. I think most in the comment chain were thinking of the case of sending a link to a friend where you want them to be scrolled to some specific text. I often want to create these links for others when linking to long pages, or technical documentation. I haven’t tried Brave (the crypto stuff puts me off), but if you’re interested in a good alternative to Google Search (that doesn’t link text fragments) you should check out Kagi. It’s paid, but it’s worth funding a Google competitor on principle IMO.
