Text fragment links

You can append #:~:text=bananas
to a URL to highlight the first match of the text bananas
on the page that's linked. You can append #:~:text=initio,finito
to highlight all text in the first match from initio
to finito
.
For example, this link with #:~:text=You can't,no one can
highlights the phrase You can't predict the future, no one can
on the linked page.
The browser will scroll the page to the first instance of the fragment text. This link should take you right to the famous final line of The Great Gatsby.
I'm very excited to use this feature! I wish it'd been around for a long time.
