2 ways to copy tooltip text from a web page

Image
There are times when I've wanted the tool-tip text that appears on hovering over a link or an icon within a web page. The cumbersome way is to select the object that has the tooltip and then use Inspect element option in Chrome (as shown in the animated GIF below) or open Developer Tools (F12 keyboard shortcut in popular browsers) select the element containing the tooltip and grab the desired text from HTML code. Inspect Element option in Chrome I found a simpler option that works with tool-tips on some websites (not all) Select the word before and after the image containing the tooltip and when the tool tip appears, copy the selected text. Copy it from the clipboard and remove the extra words after you paste Select tooltip & its surrounding words, copy & paste I've tested this crude trick in IE 11, Firefox 34 and Chrome 39 (all on Windows) (The animated GIFs were generated using the ScreenToGif open-source tool)

This Week I Learned - Week 27 2026

This Week I Learned -  *  Intensive Vibe Coding Course With Google - self-paced Kaggle Learn guide * Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) bridge internal development and real-world deployment by embedding with enterprise clients to build solutions while guiding the product roadmap.  FDEs are the "Technical Special Ops" who bridge the gap (The Delta) between a core product and a client’s messy, real-world reality. * Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and researcher John Jumper won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work on the company’s AlphaFold model, and DeepMind has also made major contributions to meteorology, materials science, and a variety of other disciplines. John Jumper is leaving DeepMind for Anthropic.  * Like Claude Code, Claude Science can autonomously carry out meaningful work when given concise, high-level instructions, and it has access to tools that make it particularly useful for research in computational biology and drug development. C...

HOW TO link directly to a specific word on a webpage with Scroll to Text Fragment feature

Image
Did you know you can link directly to a specific word on a webpage and have the browser automatically scroll down and highlight it? It’s called Scroll to Text Fragment, and it's a game-changer for sharing quotes, data, or proof.  This is especially useful when the content you want to link to doesn't have a standard HTML anchor (like #heading). This feature lets you link directly to any specific word or text block on a webpage, highlighting it for the user automatically. I was amused to find that  La Opala Crockery is 100% Vegetarian  and it proudly sports on its packaging the green dot logo that's typically used by food products. They also mention this claim on their blog in a long article. I wanted to share the link on a forum that mentions the exact sentence so that readers can jump to the specific point. Here’s how the link can be constructed to highlight "100% vegetarian" - https://www.laopala.in/blog/what-sets-laopala-cup-set-apart #:~:text=100% vegetarian Th...
