Description from store Easiest way to highlight text on any webpage! Simply select text, then right click it to select the "Highlight" option. Alternatively, use the default keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl+Shift+H'. All highlighted texts are saved so that your highlights are not lost when exiting a page! Simply re-opening that page will bring back all the highlights. Now with a custom highlighter cursor and 4 different highlight colors! Change the keyboard shortcut through Chrome settings at 'chrome://extensions/shortcuts'. Undo highlights by re-highlighting them, or remove all highlights on the current page by clicking the "Remove All" button in the toolbar.

(2020-02-07) Marius UDUBAȘA: simple to use, great tool! feature request: keep data in sync on page revisit, even on a different pc, but same browser profile
(2020-02-03) W. Donaghy: Although it allowed me to highlight on the web, I found it to be frustrating toggling with the feature. I also need a feature to circle and make some points and unfortunately this extension was not good enough for me.
(2020-01-23) Eric Nadler: I just wanted a simple extension to highlight a page I use for work. I just needed one time highlights to try to correlate a few hundred lines in a table. I tried several other extensions that either needed a login account or did not work. This one worked for me! Thank you!
(2019-12-22) UAH: DOES NOT WORK. A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME
(2019-12-12) Jeff N: FEATURE REQUEST It would be really cool if there was a feature that made it so a few clicks would automatically select the highlighted portion for copying/pasting.
(2019-12-10) John Daniels: This should have more stars. It is ultra simple and does exactly what I need, highlight text in the browser with easy shortcut. I tried a lot of others and they keep opening up pop up windows which I do not need. Simple and easy, you got 5 Stars from me!
(2019-11-26) Alexander Serechenko: Working bad on all pages I tried. I've lost all highlights made while reading a book.
(2019-11-07) Linda Griffen: Far, far better than the other highlighting extensions out there. Easy to use. No annoying pop-ups. Stores the highlights on your computer, not on some 3rd-party web service.
(2019-11-06) Sean Montebello: Helpful! But does not work on PDF pages. Sometimes when highlighting Google-Highlighted Search Results, this will confuse the extension and other Google-Highlighted Search Results will appear highlighted. (I swear I'm not trying to make a tongue twister)
(2019-10-27) P N: Il serait bon d'améliorer la description: "All highlighted texts are saved so that your highlights are not lost when exiting a page! Simply re-opening that page will bring back all the highlights." Sauf qu'on ne sait pas où c'est sauvegardé!
(2019-10-13) Mustafa Mahmud: Where are the highlights saved?
(2019-08-27) mostafa: Its great for any one looking for simple highlighter.
(2019-08-21) Miguel Reyes: Works as expected! Easy to use and keeps track of my highlights in pages that I've visited and highlighted. Would be nice to have a page where ALL my highlighted pages could me managed.
(2019-08-16) Layden Lee: dose exactly what is says take note you need to refresh the page you want to highlight after installation.
(2019-08-08) Marheave: Works sweetly and amazingly for academic literature in HTML form (web pages). For pdf I guess we have to use pdf editors to highlight, and for other web apps there's no choice, but for my use case it has been a real blessing
(2019-07-25) Franz Reischl: Pretty basic.
(2019-07-11) Luc Godfroid: Hello, Je vais mettre 5/5 car l'extension ici présentée fonctionne très bien et est aussi très facile d'usage mais mais... le gros probième c'est ce "REMOVE ALL" qui fait qu'elle ne peut être utilisée que très ponctuellement... comment retenir les différents surlignages ? Aussi, je vous signale une extension +complexe mais qui permet un "REMOVE sélectif" : c'est l'extension "Highlight This: trouve et marque les mots". Cordialement (Chromium Version 75.0.3770.100 (Build officiel) (Windows 10-64 bits)) PS : Rien ne vous empêche d'utiliser les 2 extensions de concert en réservant 1 couleur à "Highlighter" !
(2019-07-10) St.Paul's High School: Doesn't work at all when i right click on pdf or web pages it shows highlighter option but there is neither color drop down list nor highlighted the text with auto color.Very Bad
(2019-06-04) Benny A: I'm sorry but this did not work in the least bit. I assume it worked previously but not anymore. Jerome, you asked us to tell you which sites don't work. None of the websites work, including Gmail. I read reviews that Gmail works, after refreshing. I tried without success. I hope you fix this but until then I will be removing this extension.
(2019-05-09) Apk Emur: Doesn't work at all. Does nothing!
(2019-04-20) Leo De La Garza: does not work wah wah
(2019-04-07) Zachary Schoonover: Does not work.
(2019-04-06) Joseph Gagné: Does not work :(
