- Great extension but support just ended or something like that. Sad to see it go
- Roy Boxing
- This was extremely helpful, but it has been removed from Chrome. Please bring it back.
- Extropian Transhumanism Transcend
- it does individual words highlighting in a bar, but there isn't an ability to separate terms with multiple words. Doesn't work on PDF
- Bribin Zheng
- This extension is awesome! But there is an alert 'This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions.'. Could you please upgrade it, and keep it working? Thank you very much!!
- Vincent Greco
- MultiHighlighter is a decent highlighter with a simple input box and no settings (e.g., always fragment of words, case insensitive, diacritic sensitive). It's a pity that it does not highlight words in iFrames. But the main issue is that, it uses Manifest V2, which will soon be deprecated, and the developer hasn't updated it since 2014! Unless this changes, I recommend current users try my own highlighter, Multi Find, for a more customizable and future-proof experience: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/multi-find-chercher-et-su/dffaiikpbncahnghlfnkhagffaemhgfo

- Es una muy buena herramientá para buscar palabras en diferentes páginas, pero el problema es que no funciona bien cuando se usa para buscar varias palabras en Excel de Google Docs, no encuentra las palabras que se agregan en la hoja, en contraste con el buscador normal de Ctrl-f, que aunque sólo busca una palabra a la vez, la encuentra en la hoja de Excel con facilidad.
- Mike Savad
- this thing is stupid. i'm trying to highlight terms on the page. and it does that. but if you have an open box of keywords - it erases the word as it finds it. its gone, just gone. its like it turned it into a find and replace, its not white, its just missing now. i think this is what i wanted in a program if it just highlighted things. but to make it vanish too? that's stupid. i don't get that.

- I'd recommend the less polished looking, but having tons more functionality addon SearchBar instead. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/searchbar/fjefgkhmchopegjeicnblodnidbammed Enjoy -- you can thank me later.

- Не хватает перемещения по найденным совпадениям слов, и чтоб через сочетания клавиш искало, и чтоб в память запоминало два три слова!.. Не совсем такое тут с этим подходит, буду искать дальше - другие расширения... Посоветуйте кто-что знает!

- Qnother extension using ridiculously generic styles in it's stylesheets like 'ui-button', which clashes with existing pages and causes things to mess up! Please prefix something unique to your style names to reduce the chances of them clashing with pages.

- É boa e bem útil. Falta "memorizar" as palavras. Elas somem após atualizar a página, sendo necessário digitar tudo novamente. Marca as palavras com radicais que combinam. Não suporta YT.
