Smart Keyword Highlighter Firefox

Smart Keyword Highlighter

Smart Keyword Highlighter is a browser extension that improves reading focus by automatically highlighting uppercase and capitalized words on web pages.

Features & Capabilities

  • Smart Highlighting: Automatically detects and highlights:
    • Uppercase words (e.g., "IMPORTANT")
    • Capitalized words (e.g., "Keyword")
    • Mixed case and hyphenated words
  • CSS Custom Highlight API: Uses the modern CSS Custom Highlight API for high performance and native-feeling highlights without cluttering the DOM.
  • Adaptive Contrast: Intelligently adjusts highlight colors based on the background color (light or dark) to ensure readability.
  • Smart Exclusions:
    • Ignores sentence starters to prevent over-highlighting.
    • Skips specific tags like scripts, styles, inputs, code blocks, and links (anchor tags).
    • Respects contenteditable elements.
  • Custom Highlighting:
    • Define custom keywords with specific colors (e.g., yellow: Python, Java).
    • Supports case-insensitive and whole-word matching.
  • Advanced Keyword Registry:
    • Persistent Memory: Remembers highlighted keywords per-domain or globally (*.*).
    • Retroactive Highlighting: If a keyword is discovered mid-sentence, it gets added to the registry. On subsequent visits (or retroactively on the same page), it will be highlighted even if it appears at the start of a sentence.
    • Configurable Scope: Define maximum registry size and scope (global vs. domain-specific).
  • Customizable:
    • Toggle extension on/off globally or per-site.
    • Manage site exclusions/inclusions via the options page.
    • Advanced Settings:
      • Minimum Words in Block: Configure the minimum word count for a block to be highlighted (default: 10).
      • Custom Colors: Adjust the background highlight colors and opacity for both light and dark modes.

User Reviews

I’ve been using this add-on for a while and it’s honestly super helpful when reading long pages. It automatically highlights important keywords, so I can instantly spot what I’m looking for without constantly using Ctrl+F.

Is Smart Keyword Highlighter Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Smart Keyword Highlighter requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
