Easiest Way to Highlight Text on Any Webpage

Are you tired of losing track of important information on webpages? Look no further! With the Highlighter Chrome extension, you can easily highlight text on any webpage with just a few simple steps.

Simple Highlighting Process

Highlighting text has never been easier. Simply select the desired text on a webpage, right-click, and choose the "Highlight" option from the menu. Alternatively, you can use the default keyboard shortcut 'Alt+H' (or '^H' on Mac) for quick and effortless highlighting.

Saved Highlights

One of the most convenient features of the Highlighter extension is that all highlighted texts are automatically saved. This means that your highlights won't disappear when you exit a page. When you revisit the same page, all your highlights will be there, just as you left them.

Please note that while the Highlighter extension works seamlessly on most webpages, it may not be compatible with highly dynamic sites like Facebook or some email clients. However, the developers are continuously working on expanding its compatibility in the future.

View and Manage Your Highlights

With the Highlighter extension, you have easy access to all your highlights. You can view and copy all the highlights on a page with just a few clicks. Additionally, you can select existing highlights and choose to either delete them or copy their content for further use.

Customize Your Highlighting Experience

The Highlighter extension allows you to personalize your highlighting experience. You can customize the highlight colors and even change the text color to suit your preferences. Make your highlights stand out and make information retrieval a breeze.

Change the Keyboard Shortcut

If you prefer a different keyboard shortcut for highlighting text, no worries! You can easily change the default shortcut through the Chrome settings. Just go to 'chrome://extensions/shortcuts' and make the desired adjustments.

Open-Source Project and Community Contributions

The code for the Highlighter extension is fully open-source and available on GitHub. You can find it at https://github.com/jeromepl/highlighter. The developers encourage users to report any issues and contribute to the project, making it even better.

Protecting Your Privacy

We value your privacy and want you to feel secure while using the Highlighter extension. It is important to note that the extension uses Google Analytics to gather non-personal user information and usage data. However, it does not collect browsing information such as the contents of your highlights or the URLs you access.

To learn more about our privacy practices, we invite you to read our privacy policy at https://github.com/jeromepl/highlighter/blob/master/privacy_policy.md.

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.

Highlighting does not work at all for me either.

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 desired highlighted word. Thank you for your work! And thank you for your attention!

doesn't work (in Opera, at least). Select text, right-click, select "Highlight", nothing happens. There seems to be no way to enable/disable the extension so I assme it is enabled since I see the "Highlight" option. When I first open this tool from the toolbar, it has an error saying "your markups cannot be loaded" (something like that).

Superb. Thankyou for the extension.

Zig the Builder

It works perfectly. Great piece of kit. I wish there was a pro version that would show highlights across all my devices. And, btw, those who say it doesn't work, maybe check Highlighter extension settings? Delve in, look it up, figure it out.

Does. Not. Work.

Ryan Chan

It's been years and this still does not work. Chrome might have broken something but the point still stands.

Tristan Rentz

every one of these highlighter extensions does NOTHING!!! thanks for wasting my time!

anukriti

it works fine for highlighting but i don't think there is a place to access all your highlights so unless you specifically visit that page, you pretty much lose what you highlighted. if i'm mistaken can someone please let me know? i really need to see all previous highlights and i don't know how many i have, or on which specific URLs.

ok

Mạnh Lê

Staś Werno

Epic Mango

I like how it feels to use sadly highlights don't get saved on certain pages.

Bryan H

works exactly as I want it to. If you want to highlight PDF's, just use adobe acrobat :)

Eshana V

it doesnt work for pdfs. i had only installed it for using it for pdfs but it doesnt work.

Parth

It works on every site except for pdfs tried refreshing and using but still didn't work, I had installed it mainly for pdfs so it became redundant.

Md Arif Hossain Akash

Why its randomize the selection order in Bangla language!!! It's make me more confuse when I revision it!!!

Megha Goyal

will the highlighted portion be visible to other indiviudals ? if i copy paste the web link ???

Adérito

Perfectly simple. No need to create account or login. Just local data!

Jure Kovač

Simple & straightforward. Everything works perfectly until you switch computers - then all your highlights are stuck on your old computer with no way to transfer them. Please add functionality to trensfer data to a new computer.
