David Pasion (ID: 0000000fd0ff46fd) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/28/2021 The title should have been "Word Highlighter for Wikipedia" because that's exactly the only thing this extension does. Either this extension has to adapt to this extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/readingline/bedndhimamenfipaocmhcpcickamhfnm) or the other way around. This one has conifigurability, but isn't as functional as the one linked above.
