Persistent Highlighter Extension

So far,

highlights the text on the page,

stores url and highlight text as key/value pair in local storage,

re-highlights text passages when we re-visit a URL, and

previous highlights are searchable by word.

Doesn't work on Disqus comments, and some other websites. Working on that...

D (ID: 0000006e9802b965) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/30/2020 Best one so far, I was losing hope after trying almost 10 extensions before. Does the best job. It retains highlights until your next visit. I found one bug: app gave error that something in my page prevents DOM-readable content, and then what happened was this: the highlights DID reappear, but one word that I highlighted in middle of the page wasn't highlighted any longer. Instead, it's first occurence on the page (which happened to be line one) was highlighted (in the same color I chose for the mid page one). It seems like something was interfering with searching to re-instate the key-value pairs. Good work, keep working on this, thanx
