Poor functionality. Not a particularly useful plugin for developers. However, if the authors add the ability to highlight meta tags or make it possible to manually add custom highlights, it would be a 5.

Not what I was looking but once you reload an existing tab and hit the icon on the toolbar then it shows the source code. However, what I was looking for was the ability to select/highlight an image and or text, right click, and choose View selection source, , then copy and past what it highlights. Which is easy to do in Firefox and derivative based browsers, while Developer tools > View page source in Chromium based browsers (or at least Vivaldi) does not make this easy.
