Such a simple idea but such a game-changer. I wish I had this years ago. THANK YOU -- I'm buying you THREE coffees, in just a few weeks of using this you've saved me so much time. ☕️☕️☕️

I'm working on a DNA project right now where I'm looking at long lists of surnames. This little extension does just what it says on the tin: highlights any surnames you've entered into the plugin and makes them easy to see. Also, I have some surnames that are also common words (like "West" and "Hill") and I was hoping it didn't constantly work in the background and highlight those words every time I browsed the web. Happy to report it does not! You have to tell it to "highlight" surnames. Very nifty little tool.
