- (2023-08-29) Wojciech Kwiatkowski: Thighs to fix: You cannot effectively turn off randomness of highlighting colors. If you want to have one color for one list you just cannot set this. There is no documentation how to properly import word lists. Sometimes when you click enter you extend current word text input instead of adding new word. Transfering word lists between computers do not work for browser profile.
- (2023-08-12) Oleg Pierre: This extension is wonderful, it just lacks something to be perfect, could you add the functionality to count the words please? Congratulations for the extension!!!
- (2023-07-24) Constantinos Antoniou: excellent work
- (2023-07-16) Maverick: This is an excellent extension. But it seems users can only add key words one at a time. Could we copy and paste many words into the list at the same time? Thanks a lot!
- (2023-07-09) Fred Wachtel: It's a decent product... still trying to figure out all the options. But did immediately find out that the Sync does not work between instances of Chrome. I am not sure if there is a trick to it, but so far it won't syncronize settings between browsers which is a bummer.
- (2023-06-23) Hamza Bayram: I have been using this extension for a couple of days. Oh my, it has helped me be more efficient and faster in finding what I need. It could be great, if I could limit the extension to be active for a "on" for a single website or tab. Otherwise it keeps trying to highligt every tab that I work on, and makes it hassle to toggle on/off each time. It kinda messes the whole purpose of being more efficient. Can you help developer?
- (2023-06-16) Kenan Keskin: It's a good app but i can no longer get highlights. Reinstalled it but no help. Activating all sorts of words, lists and settings. Same
- (2023-06-03) Lee Marshall: Did what I wanted it to do which was to highlight specific pre-determined words on a webpage but it does not work well. It keeps messing webpages up and adding the keyword to the webpages even when the word actually does not exist on the page. The webpage ends up looking a right mess. It basically damages the page structure so it's 2-stars from me. If they fix this then I'd say it was 5-star but it's not usable in it's current state. I tried to uninstall and re-install but it made no difference. I was using google chrome (fully up to date) on a Mac.
- (2023-02-17) Shawn Palmer: GREAT JOB CAN YOU PLEASE HILIGHT WORD IN textarea tag - also or google docs thank you
- (2023-02-10) Shmuel: I tried to find x-ft of a charging cable in Amazon it did not find 'ft' probably because it was part of a word, e.g 3ft but even after tinkering with the regex and making a search for *ft it did not do anything after turning on the regex setting
