- **Delete Individual Highlights** — Remove any single highlight without affecting others on the same page.
- **Copy Highlighted Text** — Copy the text content of any highlight to your clipboard with one click.
- **Clear All** — Remove all highlights from the current page at once when you want a fresh start.
- **Works on Any Webpage** — Highlight text on articles, documentation, blogs, research papers, and any other webpage.
