Make permanent, private highlights on any web page.
This extension lets you make highlights on any web page, and subsequently attempts to restore those highlights when you revisit the page.
This process is completely private. The location and contents of your highlights never leave your browser.
A variety of highlight styles are available, with built-in styles including basic colors, redaction, blurs etc. Highlights can be made via the mouse or a keyboard shortcut.
The highlights on a single page can be navigated to from a single popup dialog, and a summary of the page's highlights are also available to view, print, or save.
NOTE:
- The extension does *NOT* sync across your devices.
- There are many factors that may cause highlights not to be successfully restored on subsequent visits.
For more details, see the help page.

- (2024-10-17) update 10/16/2024 Suddenly stopped working with a recent upgrade in chrome. I like how it works and how it maintains the highlights when you re-open the pages. But found a problem. Opened it today 4/1 and all the previous months marks were gone from one page I do check offs on. Its a calendar page with events that are marked after completion.
- (2023-11-30) 蒋钟震: Every once in a while, about half a month to a month, my highlighted data suddenly disappears, leaving only some of the latest data, which has happened several times. Fortunately, I often have backup data, but I still lost some data that I forgot to mark during the backup period. Version 2023.07.24 Windows 10 22H2 chrome verison 119.0.6045.124 每隔一段时间,大概是半个月到一个月,我的高亮数据就突然没了,只剩一些最新的数据,发生好几次了,幸亏我经常有备份数据,但还是丢失了一些我忘记备份期间而标记的数据
- (2023-11-09) Sara Xa: Finally one that works! I've searched an extention that could do a simple thing: highlight text on a web page... Impossible to find one that works the way intented. Very helpful for homeworks. Bonus: you can personalise the hightlighter style (color, police size, bold, underline...) Thank you! :)

- (2023-10-28) DAYANA ALEXANDRA PERALES PALOMINO: Funciona muy bien. Aunque no sobre pdfs, pero para eso mejor hacerlo desde Microsoft edge. Hay comentarios que señalan perfectamente cómo hacer que funcione. Como hacer clic derecho para que empieze el resaltador y también colocar los colores en extensiones , accesos directos según su numeración más ctrl o alt. P.ej. Alt + 1, Alt + 2 etc.
- (2023-10-27) Sunny Mok: This extension need permission for each site you what to highlight, which is annoying, as if you what to highlight something using a shortcut, and the site haven't obtain the permission yet, it will done nothing, until you use context menu to do highlight to show the permission obtain dialog. I think that's why lots of people here complaint that this extension doesn't work. Developer should change this behaviour to have permission all sites in one go, not one by one. Hope it will get changed for next update. Thanks.
- (2023-10-19) RedHunter: 다른 유사앱들은 사용을 안해도 on 상태로만 유지해도 엄청나게 버벅되고 했는데 이건 그런 현상도 없고 사용하기도 쉬워서 굿입니다
- (2023-10-18) Ayssa Sc: Wonderfully easy to use. Downloaded in seconds, read a couple of the reviews ahead of time to get acquainted with it and it works quite well. I even reloaded the page and the highlight was still there. Super cool. I will say I've only used the extension for a total of 5 minutes, hopefully this continues to work lol...
- (2023-10-14) Diêgo Araújo: Obra de arte!
- (2023-10-11) Nhimsinkkdeppp10 (Cao 3m mốt :33): omg very gooddd
- (2023-10-08) Silm Arvin: Well, this is not REALLY simple. Request permission on each site, right click to find it in menu and select color. I just want an extension which could auto highlight the text selected.
- (2023-09-30) Oswaldo De Los Santos: I like this and it may be one of the finest extensions for said purpose, only thing I don't understand is why it doesn't have a hotkey or some sort of keyboard shortcut to highlight things. Whenever I right click, I have to go through two menus just to highlight something, I can't seem to see anything that allows hotkeys. A bit disappointed, maybe it can be added in?
- (2023-09-30) Roman Shchiptsov: Very useful. Thanks!
- (2023-09-28) B W: Works perfectly, absolutely amazing. Actually kinda funny how some people are saying it doesn't work, it's literally in the name "Super Simple Highlighter" 😂😂
- (2023-09-27) Daniel ZamoraPaez: Facil de colocar sobre el texto seleccionado, diferentes opciones de color y para mejorar un narrador para los textos seleccionados.
- (2023-09-27) Ynabelle Villegas: doesn't work
- (2023-09-03) Maylin Cruz: no me deja marcar en pdf
- (2023-08-23) Akbar Ghurbal: Super useful chrome extensions; totally recommend!
- (2023-08-16) Goutham: Last few days ask permission for every page separately. Not showing allow on all sites or incognito mode. Specific color deletion and viewing options needed. Not working in many websites.
- (2023-08-14) April Wilson (april211): After enabling the entry called "Allow access to file URLs" from "Manage Extention", I can use this extention to highlight my local HTML files! Thanks!
- (2023-08-08) Israel Rodrigues: Para quiser adicionar um atalho para não ter que ficar selecionando no botão direito do mouse toda hora, olha esse comentário antigo do Douglas: Douglas1 de out. de 2020 Você pode escolher um atalho por meio do > Gerenciar extensões > clica nos três palitinhos > Atalhos do teclado. *Cada número representa a sua cor* Sugiro ler o FAQ, explica muitas coisas

- (2023-07-14) Vinícius Lima: Era simplesmente excelente, mas parou de funcionar do nada :(
- (2023-07-09) John Hansen-Beadle: I was looking for a SIMPLE highlighting system which this is not. It's been an hour and I still can't male the $#!* thing work!!!!!!!! I don't get why they would go to all the trouble when there is obviously glaring major issues with functionality?
- (2023-07-04) Dichi 5: can i suggest, if it can, have a much more faster way instead of right clicking then have to hover (there may be a faster way but i dunno how). in addition, now with the overwhelming options of colors, could there be like a preference or like an option to group certain colors cause might not use all the colors given. but overall, i really like this extension and would still continue using it.
- (2023-06-27) Eugene G: nice!
- (2023-06-12) Frederik Frydendal-Oesten: The concept is great, its easy to use.
- (2023-06-11) Sonu Markam: "Could not move extension directory into profile." It is showing error. This error is in your extension, or in my system, please tell. If it's for my system, what can be the solution, if it's for your extension, then fix it. have a nice day.
- (2023-06-04) Eduardo Calderon: Genial genial, solo le faltaría organizar los marcadores en carpetas , por etiquetas o por paginas, web,,,,y muy importante poder compartir los marcadores
- (2023-05-29) gozu lumii: It is a very good highlighter... but god, god why does the X button have to appear at the beggining of a highlight and not above it (what if you want to select text, dont yall select text starting from upper left corner down?), and why is it so big....

- (2023-05-20) Ty Buchanan: Not much use because the highlighted text is NOT permanent. It is gone when you refresh the webpage.
- (2023-05-17) Fabio Prado Lima (Fábio Prado Lima): 💔 With the last update simply all my highlited pages and highlights disappeared 😭 I've been using it and loving it for years, until today 😭💔 Gave 4 stars instead of 1 star just not to be ungrateful. I'm really looking forward it get fixed. I's been some months since I last backed up my highlights and I don't want to believe I've lost lots of highlights...

- (2023-05-07) Sid: My favorite highlighting extension, above LINER and hypothes.is Simple, to-the-point, and maintains catalog and potential backup of highlights.
- (2023-05-07) Moritz Plieger: I have been using super simple highlighter for years and never had any issues. I also recommended it to friends. However, the recent update made it pretty much unusable. I would love if this gets fixed (ideally reverted to an older update).
- (2023-05-06) Elinor J: I'm another user who loved this add on until the update and used it regularly. Now I can't even make a highlight anymore. Hope this will be fixed since it really was the best highlighting tool out there.
- (2023-05-06) Max Gao: 非常🙏作者提供的我谷歌插件,这是我第一次评论。THANK YOU FROM CHINA
- (2023-05-05) Dylan McManus: Unusable ever since recent update (5 May, 2023); flew too close to the sun by attempting to cache/store highlighted snippets....in so doing, they sacrificed speed/efficiency & ease of use Unfortunate because I've been using this Google Chrome extension for years now, and this is the first time I've had to uninstall
