This extension just does one simple job. It updates the URL with the id of the section that is currently visible on a page. It does this in real time. So if you want to share a link to the section you are reading, just copy the url and share it with your friends.
If you want to see how effective this can be over the time, check it out on medium.com As medium has ids for each paragraph you can actually share links to the exact section that you are reading. I think going forward more websites will start adding ids to all major content HTML tags like h1, h2, section, body, div and p so that we will be able to share the micro-context effortlessly.
Background:
I was recently going through Observer API on MDN(https://developer.mozilla.org/en...) and wanted to see if I can get something useful out of my learning effort.
I just put couple of lines together and built this extension in less than an hour. If you are javascript developer you can checkout the code here : https://github.com/learning-path...
