Extension summary

This extension lets you markup any web page with different colored highlights. The highlights only persist until the page refreshes or closes. This is great for studying and taking notes, or bringing attention to text to be used in a screenshot. Or maybe you just make a page more colorful and festive, just for the fun of it.

User reviews

This extension does not work. I tried to use it and it wouldn't highlight what I wanted it to. I looked for others and I recommend Weava. It's a different extension and it does work, you highlight it normally and can choose a color to highlight it. Then you also can delete it when you are done.
