IMPORTANT :-
- Please note that the extension does not read a webpage content without
you enabling it either manually or using the shortcuts
- Kindly avoid invoking the extension on the same webpage more than
once. If you reload the extension, please also refresh any webpages
already open you want to highlight from.
- The extension may take more time if the webpage is very large.
Consider a time of 3-4 seconds to finish highlighting for lengthy pages.
- The extension does not scan hyperlinks to maintain the posture of the
webpage.
- Deselecting a list in preferences will only omit words which are
exclusively in that list . Many high frequency words are
shared between lists.
