If you’re like most people, you probably use Chrome to browse the web and do some work. But what if you want to share some of the content you see on Chrome with your friends and family? There are a few ways to do this, but one of the easiest is to use snippets. A snippet is a small piece of text that can be used in a web page or document. It’s similar to a hyperlink, but it’s not as long and it doesn’t have a link target. You can create snippets in Chrome by going to chrome://snippets/ and clicking on the Add Snippet button. Once you’ve added a snippet, it will be available in your browser for easy access. To use it, just type its name into the address bar and hit enter. You can also right-click on it and select “copy.” Then, paste it into any text editor or document that supports snippets. Now that you know how to create snippets in Chrome, let’s take a look at how to share them with others!
Want to share an excerpt from something you read online? There are several ways you can do it, but Google Chrome has a cool method that turns quotes into stylish, shareable cards. We’ll show you how to do it.
At the time of writing, this feature is available in Chrome Beta for Android. Once you’ve enabled the flag, you can share text as images with different fonts, colors, and backgrounds. It’s a much more visual way to share a quote on social media.

First, open the Google Chrome app on your Android phone or tablet and type chrome://flags in the address bar.
Next, type “webnotes” in the search bar and tap the drop-down menu for the flag titled “WebNotes Stylize.”
Select “Enabled” from the menu, and then relaunch the browser.
Once the browser opens back up, go to a web page and select some text. Tap “Share” from the contextual menu.
Now, select the “Create Card” option from the Share menu.
Scroll left-to-right through the different card styles until you find one that you like. Tap “Next” to proceed.
Another share menu will appear, this time for sharing the card that you just created. Select an app or “Copy Image.” If you share directly to another app, it will include the quote card and a link to the web page.
That’s it! You’ve just created a stylish quote card without doing much work at all. This is a handy little feature that should be useful for those times when you want to highlight some text to share, and it can all be done right from Google Chrome.
