Serguei Pikalov (ID: 00000065b43f61b3) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/02/2021 Good idea, has some perks other extension don’t. What would be good to see: 1. Needs multiple colors for highlighting (one for each word). Ideally, highlight the word in search field with its color. 2. Add button to show/hide options (too distracting now). 3. Add support for phrases in quotes (treat them as one word in terms of highlight).
