Last Text Bookmark

You’re reading a long article, documentation page, or research paper in your browser. You get interrupted — a meeting, a phone call, end of the day — and you close the tab or reload the page.

Now you’ve lost your place.

There’s no built-in way in Chrome to bookmark where you were reading on a page. Traditional bookmarks save the URL, not your position. Browser history? Same thing — just the URL. You’re back at the top of a 10,000-word article with no idea where you left off.

Think about how often this actually happens:

1. You’re halfway through a technical tutorial and your browser crashes. You reopen the page and spend 5 minutes scrolling trying to find the exact paragraph you were on.

2. You’re researching across 15 open tabs. You close a few to free up memory. When you reopen them, you’ve lost your reading position in every single one.
