There are several third-party extensions out there to copy webpage title and address, for browsers like Chrome<\/a>, Firefox<\/a> and others. Here is a neat trick to add your own Copy Title & URL bookmarklet for Microsoft Edge.<\/p>\n

Copy Title and URL Bookmarklet for Microsoft Edge<\/h2>\n

In Microsoft Edge (Chromium), create a bookmark to a sample site.<\/p>\n

Then replace (edit) the URL of the bookmark with the following target:<\/p>\n

javascript:(function() { function copyToClipboard(text) { if (window.clipboardData && window.clipboardData.setData) { \/*IE specific code path to prevent textarea being shown while dialog is visible.*\/ return clipboardData.setData(\"Text\", text); } else if (document.queryCommandSupported && document.queryCommandSupported(\"copy\")) { var textarea = document.createElement(\"textarea\"); textarea.textContent = text; textarea.style.position = \"fixed\"; \/* Prevent scrolling to bottom of page in MS Edge.*\/ document.body.appendChild(textarea); textarea.select(); try { return document.execCommand(\"copy\"); \/* Security exception may be thrown by some browsers.*\/ } catch (ex) { console.warn(\"Copy to clipboard failed.\", ex); return false; } finally { document.body.removeChild(textarea); } } } var markdown = document.title + ':' + '\\r\\n' + window.location.href; copyToClipboard(markdown); })();<\/pre>\n
\"microsoft<\/p>\n
Visit a website and click on the bookmarklet. It will copy the title and the URL of the current webpage, in the following format:<\/p>\n
