DCHighlighter is a handy Chrome extension that allows users to quickly highlight all occurrences of a word by simply double-clicking it on any webpage. This tool enhances reading and research by visually emphasizing repeated words, making it easier to scan and analyze content.

While it functions smoothly on most websites, certain platforms such as Twitter or sites with complex JavaScript may not support this feature reliably. Recent updates include bug fixes preventing search on textbox highlights and adding a Google search link when words are no longer highlighted. Future improvements aim to allow users to disable the extension on specific sites for better compatibility.

Works nice. Feature missing: deselection, clean up of the highlight on just a single click.

Not bad, but it kills the right-click context menu.

Extension safety

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.

DCHighlighter requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
