- (2025-05-18) Jim Knizer: On Vivaldi, 7.3.3635.14 (Stable channel) (x86_64), mac 12.7.6. - new install of the extension, unfortunately could not get the extension to work after a few minutes trying.
- (2025-03-26) Natalie B: The highlighter doesn't work.
- (2025-02-05) Extropian Transhumanism Transcend: highlighted 1 term and got stuck on the rest. At least it tells you to refresh the page before starting. Makes my computer run too hard.
- (2025-01-15) Günther Bosch: This extension is very useful. I use it mostly for highlighting labels and Status on dashboard to quickly get an overview.
- (2025-01-05) Henry Craig Berry (Henry the Healer): Was okay (except when you were typing a word on your list and it would highlight it and rearrange the words you were typing. THAT was annoying!), but now it has stopped working altogether.

- (2023-08-25) power welson: 功能比另外一款强大,却有个致命的缺陷,那就是这个插件的添加了一个 mh的标签高亮,但是这个而不是 span 这个html标注标签,导致拷贝到 OneNote ,word等无法保持高亮后的颜色,而另外一款却没有这个致命问题,只是相对简单,就是空格作为分隔符,但是也非常够用。所以希望作者能更新高亮标签拷贝后依然保持html代码的优点,这样我高亮后拷贝到其他地方依然会显示我要的效果。 非常感谢

- (2023-01-29) o0oOoO00O o0OoO0: 使用的效果还是比较满意的。我通过这个工具再某个网站筛选了几十个关键词,符合我的预期。 我需要经常对多个特定网站使用这个插件,所以我设置了“save words”,“toggle extension”,并且没有更改chrome的默认设置“允许访问所有的网站”,导致的结果就是:打开YouTube,bilibili等视频网站的时候,会严重卡顿,视频无法流畅的播放。 我对电脑不是很精通,我唯一能确定的是关闭这个插件就可以让这些视频网站恢复正常,我不知道这算是设计上的一点缺陷,还是我使用方式有问题。
- (2022-12-15) Arpad Orfi: This is one of the bests highlighter extension - simple to use yet powerful. There are two other that are worth checking - they are more powerful: Highlight This: finds and marks words https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/highlight-this-finds-and/fgmbnmjmbjenlhbefngfibmjkpbcljaj and Auto Highlight https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/auto-highlight/ndndibnggapaodjdfoeehgmmpppedgfb
- (2022-12-12) Ziah Goodrow: (Browser: Google Chrome on Windows 10) It does the job and highlights things, nice and brightly! Unfortunately, enabling "Auto-Rehighligh" (sp) causes web pages to load very slowly, incompletely, and/or not at all. This is especially noticeable on sites like Zendesk, YouTube, and YouTube Music. Having to manually refresh on every page is sadly a dealbreaker, as my team was hoping to use this to help out with our ticketing systems. The extension would also greatly benefit from being able to choose your own colors, and it would also be fantastic if colors were to show up on the scroll bar like when searching with ctrl+f :) If the first issue were resolved, this would be an easy 4 or 5 star. Definitely a 5 with all three!
