- Rated 5 out of 5by Nighted, 10 months agoIt's certainly not a replacement for the default find/highlight but on sites where I do the same searches everyday Auto Highlight is a godsend.
Also it's persistent unlike the find in Firefox. Firefox clears when you change pages (Chrome is persistent). This is annoying when you have to go through several pages to highlight the same text as you must manually highlight again every time.
This is going to save me a lot of time. Thank you Juraj. - Rated 5 out of 5by Seän "frostbyte" Shepherd, a year ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Tomass, a year agoNeeds a right click "Quick Highlight" feature. It's annoying to have to go through the dialog every time i want to make a simple highlight. In fact i can't even find a decent highlight plugin for Firefox that works at all. So far this is the only one i have tried that works at all. I have tried maybe 6 or 7.
Edit: Currently the dialog opens for any Highlight and its annoying to have to enlarge the dialog then and only then close it. You have to always enlarge before closing it. Would be nice if you could disable that or make an immediate option "Quick Highlight" that doesn't have the > to expand another menu. That i would use.Developer response
posted a year agoThank you Tomass for the feedback!
I'll put it on my todo list for the upcoming release.
I could also add a new option for example "Don't open highlighter when adding new highlight", although I guess new context menu option would be better.
And I could also register a global shortcut for that, that will make it so much easier to use!
Note that the upcoming release has a lot of features planned so this will take a while...

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 5 out of 5by Vinícius Lourenço, a year agoThe extension is great! I'm using it daily.
I’d like to make a suggestion, if possible... I’d like you to add the context menu "Delete % (Highlight, Temporarily highlight, Temporarily highlight everywhere, Auto highlight on this page)."
Thank you.Developer response
posted a year agoHello,
Thank you for the feedback!
Sounds like a good idea, the context menu could be better utilized for quick management of currently active rules.
I'll put it on my todo list for the upcoming release.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by Bager, a year agoGreat Addon!♥ however after some point, if you have many highlights saved, adding a new one takes about 10 seconds after selecting the 'Highlight "text"' option (I have AMD 5600 CPU & 32 GB of RAM).

posted a year agoHello,
Does this happen even when adding new highlight for a new page?
Or only when adding new highlight for existing page that already have many other words to highlight?
In general, the highlighting is slower when you have:
- many words to highlight on a single page
- if you are using regular expressions (RegExp)
- if the page where it runs is complex/huge, with a lot of elements (like Facebook / Reddit)
I plan to look into some performance optimization in the new release (in a few weeks).

- Rated 5 out of 5by TheOneHitPupper, a year agoIs there a way to do multiple keywords as phrases rather than using 'Each Word'?
For example, under one rule:
Word1+Word2, Word3
EDIT: Piping works great! Would be excited to see it under an easier to read format, like a list, but your extension is easily the best that I've tried in the Highlight category. Thank you for the quick reply!Developer response
posted a year agoHello,
Currently no, only by using RegExp option and separating search phrases with pipe symbol "|" instead of comma ",".
So you would have "word1 word2|word3".
However, you will have have to escape the special RegExp symbols.
I'll try to improve this in the upcoming release.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 5 out of 5by Alex Alex, a year agoHey! Could you please add to the "Highlight on pages" section an option to enter a CSS selector to limit the search area? That would be really neat!

posted a year agoHello Alex,
Great idea!
I'll put it on my todo list for the upcoming release.
Note however that I'm not sure when will I start to work on the new release.
There is many features planned for this release and my free time is quite limited now.
I'll see what I can do...

- Rated 5 out of 5by jcfyre, 2 years agoDoes exactly what it says. Also, this is very customizable for each word you want highlighted.
