𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐈𝐏
Avoid highlighting dynamic/real-time text - If the text on a page stopped highlighting you may have highlighted real-time text. Real-time text is text that changes sometimes live while you are on the page (ex. stock prices) or the next time you visit the page(ex. relative dates - posted 5 minutes ago). Tip: Highlight the area before the dynamic text and the area after.

𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑
Save Link to Highlight uses the same built-in technology in Chrome as Copy link to highlight. Anyone can view a link shared with multiple highlights without this extension installed. Multiple highlights on a page will look and work the same as single highlights do.
