Jake Z (ID: 000000510a4caa66) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/27/2023 Exactly what I wanted. Double click a word and it highlights all occurrences on the page. I like how transparent the developer tries to be.

Yuhe Chen (ID: 000000fffd24104d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/16/2023 Love this extension, simple and efficient. Wondering if there's way to toggle multiple highlighting, i.e when selecting new words, add the new highlight (maybe in a different color) and also keep the previous highlight. There are some cases that I want to grep for multiple keyword. Thanks in advance.

JOCLEY QUEIROZ ARAUJO (ID: 0000007f984a47c2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/21/2022 Muito prático. Todos os desenvolvedores deveriam disponibilizar o código fonte da extensão como esse cara. Parabéns
