Yawas
Highlight Web pages; stored in your browser bookmarks, searchable, and recreated automatically when you revisit a page
Yawas lets you highlight and comment web pages in multiple colors.
Your highlights are stored in the built-in Chrome Bookmarks API (you need to check Sync if you want them to be synchronized across all your devices).
Yawas automatically recreates the highlights when you reopen web pages.
All functions are available from the context-menu (Ctrl-Shift-Y for Yellow)
To highlight, simply select some text and choose the color from the context menu.
To add a note or comment, mouse over an existing highlight and pick "Add Note" (or the keyboard shortcut -N).
To recolor or delete a highlight, select some of its text and choose another color or "Delete" from the context-menu.
You can also quickly search all your bookmarks with "Yawas - Search" or edit the current page's highlights using "Yawas - Edit".

been using this for a long time, it the best period!! But recently i realize a new tap always opens up, refreshes and closes whenever i visit a new page. Why is this happening?? I've update my review. I started losing some highlights when pages refresh. I email support but never got a reply

Just doesn't work. Highlighted page then refresh, 80% of highlights are gone, then add a new highlight and refresh, all gone except the last highlight. It only has one job to do and it doesn't do that. Not fit for purpose.
It works pretty good for me, I like it, but it has a feature that bothers me and a bug(I guess?): Feature: I can only find my highlighted pages under the folder of the month. I highlight those sentences because I might want to get back to it later, like months or even years later and I won't remember which folder should I look into - I believe if there would be a folder called 'new' (where the newly highlighted pages go) and if we could make new, custom folders and move the pages from one to another would be a big help. The bug: or I might just be dumb, but after clicking on the "Import" button ('Import your Google Bookmarks (you need to be signed in) into Chrome Bookmarks. This will create a 'Yawas' folder at the root of your Chrome Bookmarks) I lost all of my pages from the folder and don't find it anywhere (as there is no Yawas folder in the root). I am in the middle of a book and had (thank God, 'just') 2 chapters highlighted but now they are gone.

Spent a lot of time highlighting different parts of my book only to discover that most of them are now missing. Most definitely a deal breaker for me, I won't be using this again.

The functionality is good, but seems to occasionally lose a bunch of highlights, even when logged into Crome. 10/11/22

it is simple and easy to use only for highlight, nothing more than that. it it useful for reading article but the developer should give provide 'delete highlight' option. then it will be more effective

Só marca a primeira página. Consegui marcar em um site que estava lendo. Mas quando tentei em outra página do mesmo site, não funcionou de jeito nenhum.
Estaba funcionandome bien hasta que en un rato dejé la página y por error la cerré, cuando la volví a abrir desde la carpeta donde se supone guarda el resaltado, ya me había borrado todas las anotaciones. :(
I installed Yawas as I thought it would be really helpful when doing research for Uni. I spent more than two hours reading an article and made 70+ highlights. The next day I went back to review what I found so I could write my essay and none of my highlights were saved. I was a little upset, but I was going to re-read the article anyway in case there were things I missed in my first read. I started reading and highlighting for a second time, refreshed my page and the highlights disappeared again. Not. Happy. Jan!

I really have to say thank you. You've create one of the best free highlighting apps ever. Although there's still something to fix and improve. But in my opinion you did it very well. This app help me a lot in study. Hope somedays I can create an app like this to help other students like me. Thanks!

Столкнулся с тем, что после обновления страницы показывает только 6 из 11 сохранённых отметок.
Can't highlight multi line, needs login to save, etc. Useless.

1. Nie da się zaznaczyć więcej niż jednej linijki 2. Po zaznaczeniu wyświetla głupawy komunikat (http://i.imgur.com/l4NWLvY.png), którego zaakceptowanie prowadzi donikąd, a zaznaczenie znika.

Inútil
Depois de um tempo usando, para. não sei o que é mas não consigo mais fazer marcações.
Realmente, só permite destacar parágrafo por parágrafo. Se torna improdutiva.
Unbelievably useful! If there was an option to add a note (although I don't knowif this is technically possible), it would super great!

为什么我用不了，小星星根本不亮
if you can add option to add a note, else this is the best highlighter.

Ruim, pois há uma quantidade limitada de texto que posso destacar, se nao fosse isso e só poder destacar parágrafo por parágrafo seria perfeito
2018 UPDATE: Developer responded to my request about adding PDF support within 3 days. Best highlighting app available on Chrome. Suggestions for improvement: 1) ability to set custom keyboard shortcuts, as the default "Ctrl+shift+y" is difficult to type with one hand 2) make it open source, so we can help you create the best possible highlighting app! ---------- 2017 ------- HOW DO I DISABLE PDF? This extension is the reason I used chrome over firefox. Wish it had better keyboard shortcuts tho. Is the source code available somewhere?
