Word Highlighter Extension

The extension can be used to expand your vocabulary. When you learn a new word, add it to Word Highlighter, and you won't forget the word because it will be highlighted every time you encounter it.

Word Highlighter is smart about how it matches words on the page with words in the dictionary. It understands that \"cherry\" and \"cherries\", \"aprender Español\" and \"aprendemos Español\" are the same. Smart matching is supported in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian and Swedish.

- Tracks words and definitions. Words can be added either in the \"Words\" tab of the extension popup, or by selecting the word and clicking \"Add word\" in the context menu.
- Highlights tracked words on all pages.
- Displays a tooltip with the definition when you hover over a highlighted word.
- Displays info about the number of highlighted words on the page.
- Supports exporting words to and importing from csv and json.
- Supports customizing highlight color.
- Supports having multiple groups of words with different settings.
- Supports disabling all highlights or specific groups on selected pages.
- Tracks how often each word was found.
- Respects your privacy - it doesn't send any of your data anywhere.
- Free and open-source.

Aleks (ID: 0000001862c830bb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/15/2023 Great!

Sushant Dotel (ID: 000000a9d3756008) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/27/2023 Works as expected. Unlike some other highlighters I used, it also gives word meanings on hover. Csv import is nifty. Thank you!

ME mr (ID: 000000123c5e1535) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/27/2023 very useful, thank you!

Max (ID: 0000004048ed0028) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/02/2023 just doesnt work. words are not recognized. if i type in "national" and turn off "strict search" it DOES NOT highlight compound words like "international" , "supranational", "nationalist",... just not usable. hate it

Bea (ID: 0000003c4aa45489) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/17/2023 Great extension the only drawback is that there is a limited number of languages if it's possible can you add Korean to the list?
