- (2023-11-06) Ryan Jay Serio: Using this DEFINITELY makes my research a lot easier. I just find it difficult when the text is at farthest left of the page and the highlighter won't adjust which makes it difficult for me to put tags and texts. My workaround is to zoom out the page so the highlighter would adjust with it. But I'm still giving it 5 star because it has a lot of value for a free tool. Kudos!
- (2023-11-06) Death Ray: good one
- (2023-11-05) Celin Zheng: This highlighting app works perfectly. There are however a couple of drawbacks. Firstly, when you move the tab to another window, your highlights completely disappear. I have also noticed that the highlights do not consolidate into one tab in the Web Highlights site unless you uninstall the extension and reinstall after highlighting something then signing back in (it instead shows up as multiple tabs of 1 Highlight, 0 notes for the same pdf). Other than that, it works as expected and is a wonder for organizing information for papers.
- (2023-11-05) Yamilet Quiroz: Super helpful love it
- (2023-11-05) J: Useful extension and very easy to use. Would prefer if PDFs could be highlighted on their original page without opening a seperate one, but otherwise a brilliant tool.
- (2023-11-04) Claudia Bancy: He probado varios highlighters y este es el mejor. Te permite subrayar en varios colores y lo mejor es que puedes eliminar el subrayado. No se vuelve loco y subraya todo el texto como me pasó con otros. Tambien tiene un shortcut super util. Me encanta y me quedo con el!
- (2023-11-03) Shane Catedrilla: This is very helpful as it is accessible and easy to use. One thing I could recommend is the color variation, hope that it could offer more, especially bright ones. Other than that, it is great!
- (2023-11-03) Valentina López: Very useful
- (2023-11-03) Hannah Canalda: Very Helpful.
- (2023-11-03) Elizabeth Cagigas: Really god highlighting tool. I am able to keep all my research organized and come back to it later. I love that you can add notes or choose different colors for whatever highlights you need, it makes summarizing data or noting important things easier.
- (2023-11-03) jenna e: 5th highlighting extention ive used and this one is my favorite!
- (2023-11-02) Youlandaa Alice: Very nice extension. Looking forward to a mac version.
- (2023-11-02) Carolina Gonzalez Rodriguez: Great tool for online working. Highlighting helps figuring out if the website is worth downloading or not. Works great.
- (2023-11-02) heng w: 好用!主要下次再看高亮还在的,颜色也可以选。或许可以多点其他可选主题配色,这样审美可能更舒服(自定义的也不容易很好看)。如果有划线,加粗之类功能更好啦,平常做笔记习惯了。
- (2023-11-01) Litesh Gupta: So far I've liked the tool. easy highlight, plenty of color options, taking notes and deletion and copying data is another useful feature. So far its good. How about integrating a text to speech feature in this tool?
- (2023-11-01) Dhwani Gajjar: an amaziggggggg toolllll!!!!!!
- (2023-10-31) Philippe Giard: Very straightforward and efficient. Great for students. Saves a lot of time.
- (2023-10-31) Omar Elfahsi: works great and very easy to use, helps me stay on track with my research.
- (2023-10-31) Hokage Prime: gute Idee, nur ist dieses (als auch die ganzen anderen google chrome extensions) miserabel programmiert, beinhalten überall Fehler (Farbe kann man nicht richtig auswählen: PDFs werden markiert und am nächsten Tag sind alle wichtigen Markierungen weg; Einstellungen werden übernommen und dennoch werden bestimmt Fenster, dass man diese Einstellung genau so umändern soll angezeigt),... dann doch lieber einen anderen Browser verwenden, welcher diese Funktion schon integriert hat- und es funktioniert bestens.
- (2023-10-31) Krystal Holder: works great and very easy to use, helps me stay on track with my research.
- (2023-10-30) G Miller: Works great, easy to use, doesn't get in the way. I tried a few of the alternatives. Web Highlights works the best for me
- (2023-10-30) My Diễm: useful, nice, easily to use
- (2023-10-29) Matthew Davis: I've tried other highlighting extensions for chrome and this one was the best. It works seamlessly with pdf files and traditional web pages.
