Overview

Highlight text on websites with a simple right-click or keyboard shortcut. Saves highlights on your device.

Easiest way to highlight text on any webpage! Simply select text, then right click it to select the "Highlight" option. Alternatively, use the default keyboard shortcut 'Alt+H' (^H on Mac). All highlighted texts are saved so that your highlights are not lost when exiting a page! Simply re-opening that page will bring back all the highlights. NOTE: This does not work on very dynamic webpages like Facebook and most email clients. Support for these might be added in the future. ➪ View and copy all highlights on a page ➪ Copy all your highlights to your clipboard easily. ➪ Select existing highlights with a simple click to either delete them or to copy their content. ➪ Customize your highlight colors (and text color). ➪ Change the keyboard shortcut through Chrome settings at 'chrome://extensions/shortcuts'.

I've enjoyed this addon for months. I switched to this from another highlighter addon as this one would actually save the highlights in a more reliable manner. Recently it's stopped working though; my old highlights are still there, but if I try to make any new ones they disappear when I refresh the page. Hopefully this will be fixed as I've found this addon very helpful. I'm using it on the edge browser.

Hello, dear Highlighter developer! Developer request: I want the mini lines to be displayed on the right side of the screen (on the scroll bar) as if you press Ctrl+F and see yellow lines where the found words are, just like I want for the highlighted words on the page. The colored lines will be the same color as the highlighted word. This way, when highlighting words, I will have a complete picture of the highlighted words at a glance and easily perform naivgation on the page to the desire... Show more
