Yawas Extension

Yawas lets you highlight and comment web pages in multiple colors.

Your highlights are stored in the built-in Chrome Bookmarks API (you need to check Sync if you want them to be synchronized across all your devices).

Yawas automatically recreates the highlights when you reopen web pages.

All functions are available from the context-menu (Ctrl-Shift-Y for Yellow)
To highlight, simply select some text and choose the color from the context menu.
To add a note or comment, mouse over an existing highlight and pick \"Add Note\" (or the keyboard shortcut -N).
To recolor or delete a highlight, select some of its text and choose another color or \"Delete\" from the context-menu.

You can also quickly search all your bookmarks with \"Yawas - Search\" or edit the current page's highlights using \"Yawas - Edit\".

unknown user (ID: 000000418d30c054) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/19/2024 been using this for a long time, it the best period!! But recently i realize a new tap always opens up, refreshes and closes whenever i visit a new page. Why is this happening?? I've update my review. I started losing some highlights when pages refresh. I email support but never got a reply

Katalin Csillag (ID: 000000a50e87a140) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/06/2023 It works pretty good for me, I like it, but it has a feature that bothers me and a bug(I guess?): Feature: I can only find my highlighted pages under the folder of the month. I highlight those sentences because I might want to get back to it later, like months or even years later and I won't remember which folder should I look into - I believe if there would be a folder called 'new' (where the newly highlighted pages go) and if we could make new, custom folders and move the pages from one to another would be a big help. The bug: or I might just be dumb, but after clicking on the "Import" button ('Import your Google Bookmarks (you need to be signed in) into Chrome Bookmarks. This will create a 'Yawas' folder at the root of your Chrome Bookmarks) I lost all of my pages from the folder and don't find it anywhere (as there is no Yawas folder in the root). I am in the middle of a book and had (thank God, 'just') 2 chapters highlighted but now they are gone.

Alekk Arevalo (ID: 000000950e34f90e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/20/2022 Spent a lot of time highlighting different parts of my book only to discover that most of them are now missing. Most definitely a deal breaker for me, I won't be using this again.

Toby Jones (ID: 000000538ca3498f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/10/2022 The functionality is good, but seems to occasionally lose a bunch of highlights, even when logged into Crome. 10/11/22

SOMRIK SADHUKHAN (ID: 0000004eaf06b35a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/10/2022 it is simple and easy to use only for highlight, nothing more than that. it it useful for reading article but the developer should give provide 'delete highlight' option. then it will be more effective
