Google Chrome: How to select text with touchscreen?

Is it possible to select (and copy after that of course) any text on web page using fingers and touchscreen?

I found only one opportunity - double tap selects single word under tap point. But I need to select more that one word!

IE10 works nice with selection, but Chrome do not? Google had missed that point?

Using Chrome 24.0.1312.57, Windows 8 Pro x86, touchscreen with two points.

Solution 1:

Try this idea from List of Touchscreen + Google Chrome Problems :

1. click on the start of the text that you want to select
2. press & hold the shift key
3. click the end of the text that you want to select

Solution 2:

For Chrome: long press a location on your screen in you will get a selection highlight with two little dots or flags at either end of the text you have selected. Drag these with your finger until everything you want is selected. Long press again for the operations you want to perform
