• (2020-02-14) Domi Stb: Hello! Is there any chance of exporting word lists individually? For now, the only export allowed contains the back-up file which basically is made up of all word lists.
• (2020-02-08) Florian Walther: Super helpful extension. I've already donated some money and will donate more in the future. Thank you so much!
• (2020-02-08) S. Ansari: Works like a charm. Awesome tool!!
• (2020-01-22) Luc Godfroid: Je donne 4/5 (pour ne pas dire 5) à cette extension car il y a parfois un problème de vélocité et pour le problème (bien connu) des alphabets accentués comme le français. Pour ce qui concerne la rapidité, une solution est d'aller soi-même au fond de la page par un ou plusieurs "^END"... et de ne pas oublier de re-actualiser la page en cas de nouvelles définitions ! Ceci dit, franchement, c'est une excellente extension pour peu que l'on se penche dessus avec attention. Comme je travaille sur du turc et azéri et que je possède un clavier turc pour les "Ü-ü-Ğ-ğ-Ş-ş-Ç-ç-I-i-Ə-ə-İ-ı" c'est sans problème. Bravo et merci au(x) développeurs en souhaitant longue vie à "Highlight This". Cordialement depuis Istanbul (Microsoft Edge.Version 79.0.309.68 (Official build) (64-bit) (Windows 10-64 bits))

• (2019-12-23) Saleh Alzahrani: goooood
• (2019-11-30) Haji Ku: I think this extension is what I want to learn a new language
• (2019-11-25) Layth Fadhala: Great extension. Thank you very much. I wanted to mention that It would be very useful to add a function or search bar to delete a specific highlighted word or phrase rather than scrolling through the entire list. Kind regards
• (2019-11-21) Katta Santhosh Kumar: Greate plugin. Is there way to send alert or do some action if it finds some keywords in the page dynamically??
• (2019-11-19) edit cue: powerful feature，but not easy to use
• (2019-11-16) Eptiskus dulce: Заколебал, после того как выключишь - само включается; а ещё периодически нарушает разметку страницы. А главное очень на многих языках ни черта не подмечает (из того что обычный поиск на Ctrl+F видит). Да и в целом неудобно.
• (2019-11-14) Асен Селановски: Splendid, absolutely marvelous. It is a great tool for many sorts of tasks.Highly recommended. Especially love the backup and restore functionality. There is only one thing that I am missing - more details on what is the data that is stored locally - is it only the word list I create or the highlighted content as well?
• (2019-11-09) Rick Smart: Funktioniert nur teilweise gut. Leider streut es die von mir markierten Wörter auf anderen Seiten zum Text dazu, obwohl sie dort nicht gefunden wurden.
• (2019-11-08) Павел Мокринский: Одно из лучших расширений. Жаль раньше его не нашел
• (2019-11-06) David Hobbs: Great App for sifting out what my tired eyes can't. Game changer in terms of productivity. Struggling to highlight single commas though which would make it 6 stars!
• (2019-10-26) M M: NICE ..
• (2019-10-25) Shivam mishra: This add in is awesome and has been working flawlessly for me. I just wish it could also highlight keywords on a pdf doc while reading on chrome.
• (2019-10-23) Sonja Pylvainen: Is there any way we can get this to work on PDFs and other documents that are downloaded in the browser?
• (2019-10-22) Scott Summers: Want to love it, but it often doesn't work the way it should.
• (2019-10-21) Andrei Bogdan: Awesome extension.
• (2019-10-13) John Kelsh: Would be good to have an option to send a notification when text matches, or something more obvious than a small number.
• (2019-10-13) François Giraud: Ne marche pas du tout dommage.............
• (2019-10-06) Lisiane Gonçalves: I have a problem with highlight words on pdf archives. It copies the words in the list, but just don't highlight them visually. Would be amazing if it work on pdf as well. I'm doing something wrong?
• (2019-10-03) AJ Dimalawang: Thank you so much. More blessings to you.
• (2019-09-26) Danil Kozyatnikov: Does the job well. Thank!

• (2020-02-10, v:4.5) Cameron Noland: Highlight This breaking web pages
  Hey, I use your extension at work and it helps a lot. There's a mix of manually added terms and pastebins. Since last week, Highlight This essentially crashes nearly every page I have open. I can't find a rhyme or reason to this, but it seems to happen mostly with Google search results. Other people I know don't have this problem. I'm not sure what's going on, but maybe you can help me out?
• (2020-02-10, v:4.5) Florian Walther: Tip: Using with Kindle Cloud Reader
  Here a tip for everyone who wants to use this extension with the Kindle Cloud Reader: It works reliably if you enable offline reading mode and download the book instead of reading it from the cloud.
• (2020-02-08, v:4.5) Logan Moloshok: escaping wildcards
  Is it possible to escape the wildcard characters? I wanted to set up a highlight string that included the question mark character, but since that character is used as a wildcard, this was not possible.

• (2020-01-31, v:4.5) red 888: Only activate for specific website?
  There is an option for "Never highlight on these sites", but what about "Only highlight on these sites"? I only have 1 or 2 sites I want this to be activated for would be great if I could configure it just for those. btw this is awesome, no other highlighting tools support special chars it seems.
• (2020-01-28, v:4.5) Felipe Castillo: Turning off doesn't work properly
  I've noticed that the only way to actually turn off the extension is to pause all the word lists and the hit the main OFF button. Otherwise, it seems that it always wants to reset itself to ON. Also, as a suggestion, the animation of switching on/off it's shown every time you click on the extension. So for a second, it always makes me feel like it's been ON all this time, and it just turned off the moment I clicked it.
• (2020-01-22, v:4.5) de_mimii: feature request
  Hello, I think the addon is great, would it be possible to add a filter as a feature request on which pages it is only used?
• (2020-01-11, v:4.5) Florian Walther: Not working on notion.so
  This extension does not work on Notion.so (within notes). Considering how popular Notion has become, it might be worth for you looking into this. I would be awesome if I could use this extension in my own notes.

• (2020-01-09, v:4.5) Roland Wong: Highlight Background covering up too much
  Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to get the background highlight to not cover up the words next to the highlighted words. I have an example here that shows the highlight covering up the word to the right of it. I wish the highlighting was a bit smaller. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mauwbfywkp9gz3b/CoveringUpText.png?dl=0 Thanks
• (2020-01-05, v:4.5) Florian Walther: Foreground color resets after saving changes to a group
  What makes this extension better than others is the option to NOT change the foreground (text) color of highlights. This is important for me because otherwise it's easy to miss hyperlinks. In this extension I can disable the foreground color but clicking the little red X. This works, but only until I make changes to the same group again. Then it resets to white.
• (2019-12-22, v:4.5) Dariusz Sikorski: Preserve "html color" option and improve highlight shadows
  Hello, I found Your plugin to be the best of this type. I changed the Foreground color to "html color" and it switches to #000 after browser restart. Also changed Background to subtle #ffda0029. Could You please change box-shadow to transparent rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05) so it wouldn't be white line on black backgrounds? Good work overall, Regards!
• (2019-12-22, v:4.5) Tor N.: 2 problems, and 1 suggestion
  There is a problem in highlighting local language (letters like æ, ø and å). Would be very helpful to get that also. Second problem is I need to highlight "Sandnes" but then "Sandnessjøen" also highlights.. Would be nice to have a "not" list too. and last, would be very nice if the injected class or id was re-nameable. On some sites it collides with other id/classes. And would be nice to be able to style it a bit more ourself if needed :) Thanks for a great addon anyways!
• (2019-12-09, v:4.5) Martyna Stafa: Problems with Highlight this
  Hi, I just want to ask about your tool. Sometimes I see that key words that are listed in my tool are not marked. When I write a world in a Google, which is in my Highlight This tool, I see that it's marked, but unfortunately, it doesn't work in Google Docs with more than one word in a line, for example: "I like dogs" is not marked, but when I write "dogs" - it is. What is more, in Linkedin I see that not always my key words are marked. What is the reason of that? Also, I use Workable to recruit people. It's really important for us to have marked the companies we cooperate with and to mark the candidates from those companies. Sometimes the companies they are from are not marked even if we have this company in Highlight this. Could you advice me? What is the reason of that? Of course I use Google Chrome :)

• (2019-11-18, v:4.5) Eli Bernard: HTML Editor
  I love this tool, and have donated! However, I currently have the need to make lots of edits to content via an HTML editor in frame. The highlighter works for the Page, but when I open the editor, it does not work in the design view or editor view. I've tried every available setting. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!

• (2019-11-14, v:4.5) Асен Селановски: All Data Stored Locally - which data this is?
  Hello Mr. Deboel In the extension overview it states that "All data stored locally", so I would like to ask if you can please confirm what is meant by ‘all data stored locally’? i.e. What data would that be – would it store all the highlighted information or just the lists of key words I created? Thank you in advance,
• (2019-11-11, v:4.5) Karyn Derby: Highlight lists are gone
  I noticed this morning that my highlight lists are no longer visible in my plugin and that my highlights are no longer showing up. Where does Highlight This write its data? I'm wondering if there's some sort of reference file I can reconnect, or at the very least try to read myself to rebuild my lists.
• (2019-11-05, v:4.5) David (Grue) DeBry: LinkedIn
  (Sorry for the double post; I didn't want my email address to be visible to everyone.) Thank you for building Highlight This!; it's awesome. Like some of your commenters, I'm using it for my LinkedIn job search. I have a few different word lists; some positive, some negative. It's incredibly helpful. I'm running into a problem where as I click through each of the jobs in my saved search, the addon is adding new words to the job description. With each job I click on, the problem gets worse. I'm happy to walk you through this on a screen sharing call or send you still images; just let me know what would be most helpful. Thanks!
• (2019-11-04, v:4.5) Finn Thirud: Brilliant plugin!
  I use this extension to highlight particular job titles on LinkedIn's network page. What a time (eye) saver for me. Thank you a lot!! €20 is coming to you!
• (2019-10-22, v:4.5) Migo: Import doesn't work
  Hi, First of all great addon! I have a problem to import a file. What can be the reason? Is there a work arround available until the problem is fixed?
• (2019-10-21, v:4.5) Scott Summers: No longer highlighting
  Placing more than a single word on a line (two words with a space between them, for example) stops the highlight from taking place. Only single words trigger highlight action.
• (2019-10-21, v:4.5) Simon Edwards: Certain text not highlighting
  Hey there, very quick question on an issue I'm having: I'm seeing the highlighter fail on the use of symbols at times. E.g. this for example won't work: Example (>500g) However if I highlight by Example, it works, it just seems to be the > ( symbols. Is this a known issue?
