1 conscience 0 dimension (ID: 000000ccd8f26e50) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/08/2023 I've just installed it. no bug on some sites, like all others I tested before on Chrome. And can cancel highlight, double clicking on nothing (some other plugin doesn't have this essential feature). I would just hope an optional crtl or shift shortcut with the double clic, if double clic interacts with something else. I don't rembember the situation but it can happen.

Andrii Vdovenko (ID: 0000005f3dbce74b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/08/2021 This is the best tool for browser ever. I tested 10+ highlighters - they all are awful. One hundred "Thanks!" to author! This is how professional tools should work and feel. And I am angry, because Chrome Web Store do not find this extension by this query: "Select To Highlight"
