en This works like a charm. Even the German Umlauts show which is rare for any highlighter I tried. I had some difficulties in the beginning with importing a txt list, until I realized that every word in the list needs to be listed under each other which took me some time to do since the Multi Highlighter I used before and is no longer supported by Chrome, did not require that and you could put any word right in the highlighter extension and words did not need to be separated. Trust me, I tried so many highlighters and this one is a sure thing.

en This looks pretty useful for checking content quickly for key words. Could use some documentation to explain what all the options are. I kept changing the colour of a word only to find it would change back until I changed the colour for the whole list. My only concern is what data - if any - is being sent to the developer or other sites? Since it can read everything on a page and the page could include confidential info, how safe is this plug-in?

en - I cannot highlight the Spanish word for angel that is "ángel". - Cannot highlight something that begins or ends with symbol. - A little difficult to establish the colors for the added lists. I need to export the list, change colors in the *.txt document manually and then import the list. - I don't how to add words directly in the extension window or how to move-up or move-down a word from the lists. - Excellent extension!!!

en Love the extension! Just wish there was a setting to automatically organize the tabs alphabetically it'd make it so much easier to add words on the go. When I try to move them around on my own by dragging them up on down, the tabs keep going to their original place eventually.

en Great Extension! I'd update the images to illustrate you can have multiple lists with different styles / colors. Also the extension shows `NaN` for multiple lists with multiple results. Again great work!
