- I’ve been using Line Highlighter for a bit now, and it’s one of those extensions you don’t realize you need until you try it. It’s simple, works perfectly, and makes reading long articles so much easier. The rebuild feels smoother, customizable shortcuts are a great touch, and I love that it’s totally privacy-focused. Highly recommend for anyone who reads a lot online.

- This worked perfectly for my use case, and I am glad I found it! Looks like it's been receiving a lot of recent updates as well, so cannot wait to find out what comes next.

- the ctrl + e command opens the search bar in google chrome, so I can't activate the extension.

- Yeah Right
- I thought I finally found the extension I was looking for or at least close to it. But it doesn't work all that well. First of all, there is no way of knowing if the extension is turned on or off. The icon always stays the same whether you click on it or not, not that clicking it does anything. Worse than that every time I load a new page I have to turn it on all over with the ctrl + e function. By the way originally I was looking for something to make scrolling trough lists easier to keep track of with an overlay line for instance at the bottom of each 'page' (as in how far the page goes up using the page down button). I guess you could consider that a feature request.

- Sorry for such a low rating, but I just can't get it to work. I was excited to start using this extension, but the documentation is really short and not clear. There's nothing to troubleshoot besides the key combo. I'm running macOS and I can't tell if it's supposed to be (no quotes): "cmd ctrl / + e" or "cmd e" or "ctrl e" or "ctrl + e" or "cmd + e" or "cmd cntrl e" or what. I've tried all combinations of the key symbols listed multiple times and they never worked. There's got to be relatively simple way to put that in a button in the extension menu, or something. I'll update my review if things improve. Cheers
