I had to restart the browser to make it work

Nice extension! Would give 5 stars, if ALL the text I'm looking for is highlighted in another chosen color.

Doesn't work with Google Docs while it clearly states that it does.

i like to highlight things so i can focus on them easier but the bright blue hurt my eyes so this was very helpful ^_^ you will need to reopen chrome for it to show up though!!

If you find it not working, try to restart the chrome, and I'm also confused before it.

It doesn't work on all selections but it does work for most! Finally, something other than blue!

When I highlight something else or refresh a page, my first highlight goes away. No highlight button shown.

Works on all sites I've tried it on so far (after a refresh)... except the Chrome Web Store itself. I have to admit that made me giggle a little. I even restarted Chrome entirely. No dice. But it's a very small inconvenience. Nice extension.

I normally highlight text to make it more readable because of the colors, but default highlight colors hurt my head. This is really useful, but you have to reload the page after turning it on.

Hi, I love it!!!! working perfectly, just an opinion, maybe you could add a feature like: "keep original text color", I would like it

It was a little confusing at first, just refreshed though and it's fine. That might be a little tripper though. Very cool.

it works! however if you want to change the color do refresh the page first, that way the highlight settings are in place. it's functional, not much i can say

unlike another extention, it works on everything, including txt files. But in this one you have to save it everytime you change a color. Happy it works but could be better, so 50-50

Works like a charm! Also saves your settings even if you restart, which is great.

I wanted to use this to change the default highlight color in googledocs but this extension only for certain websites. For instance, it doesn't work on this review page or googledocs but it does work if I just google something. Can you please let me know if I'm doing something wrong? Thanks!
