Felix Grebenstein (ID: 000000e10ab41e93) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/30/2023 I was searching for a highlighter like this that works with just one click. The other highlighting extensions didn't do what I wanted. If only I would have found your extension earlier because I already programmed my own before I found this. I totally understand that it doesn't work on all pages as I have written my own extension and it works on the pages yours works on, but not on the ones yours doesn't. So it is just a limitation for now I guess, not sure if it can be fixed.

Ty Buchanan (ID: 000000d0e15747c0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/20/2023 You save the webpage with a shortened URL. When you click it you are taken to a copy of the original webpage with the highlighted text, but there is a damn nuisance banner across the top of the page - useless. Get rid of the banner!

Michael (ID: 000000e3939cf5ae) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/13/2023 Das Markieren fällt sehr einfach und durch den Markerknopf ist er schnell zur Hand. Leider musste ich die App bewerten, da ich meine Texte sonst nicht weiter markieren konnte.
