Cindy Bahl (Cindy) (ID: 0000009be9acf12d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/14/2023 Updated review October 2023: Waste to install it. It is not helpful at all. See my original review... Original review: Not impressed. All it does it add a highlighter line. There are zero controls over it. Uninstalling.

Michal R (ID: 000000d7ca0be72a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/08/2023 It works very well for web pages. Thank you. But can you also make it work for opened PDF files in the browser?

Dustin Fox (ID: 000000025156b6df) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/27/2023 Thank you for being the only extension that provides this incredibly important accessibility feature. I can not believe this is the only plugin that actually works. Even if there is no customization, at least it works.

Akash Soedamah (ID: 00000095a6aacbe2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/25/2023 Just what I needed... A sentence/line highlighter on hover or in this case, just a simple ruler (without config) that tracks my mouse position.
