doesn't seem to work, instructions says type : to search text, it highlights text, I type word I want to highlight, nothing happens and highlighted text disappear.

Too bad it does not simulate a "click" and instead I gues it follow the HTML link on the page. Exemple for button, it won't work the same as if you physicaly click on button as some buttons have Jacascript on them so the "mouseclick" event is not captured with the extension. So it will follow an underlying "link" instead. Exemple on GOG.Com campaign (I removes the h t t p s : / / www . gog . com ) : /partner/free_games?utm_campaign=20240108_Warmup_GR_EN&utm_medium=email&utm_source=salesmanago&r=true Yes you can search and "click" on the "Free" button, but it will open the page, not just "click" on it.

Terrible for me at least i tried to search and click on inputs <flow-btn></flow-btn> from the text and nothing happenned only works on some links at google search unfortunately not on any text or element you should remove that from the description of the extension is misleading people. And another problem is the extension input field doesn't accept paste on it only typing that's another issue because it saids is to improve productivity paste a text is a must.
