Pages might have to be reloaded after install for the highlight to be set.

Bobby Butler 2021-07-22: 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.

Robin 2021-07-08: 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.

Alexis Jiang Lan 2021-04-29: Hi, I love it!!!! working perfectly, just an opinion, maybe you could add a feature like: "keep original text color", I would like it

Chloe 2021-03-29: It was a little confusing at first, just refreshed though and it's fine. That might be a little tripper though. Very cool.

vivian 2021-03-16: 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

Joseph Gonzalez 2020-07-01: 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

Eliza Lurr 2019-05-03: 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!
