About

Easiest way to highlight text on any webpage! Simply select text, then right click it to select the "Highlight" option. Alternatively, use the default keyboard shortcut 'Alt+H' (^H on Mac).

All highlighted texts are saved so that your highlights are not lost when exiting a page! Simply re-opening that page will bring back all the highlights. NOTE: This does not work on very dynamic webpages like Facebook and most email clients. Support for these might be added in the future.

➪ View and copy all highlights on a page
➪ Copy all your highlights to your clipboard easily.
➪ Select existing highlights with a simple click to either delete them or to copy their content.
➪ Customize your highlight colors (and text color).
➪ Change the keyboard shortcut through Chrome settings at 'chrome://extensions/shortcuts'.
