en Originally was going to say it doesn't work but I just had to refresh my screens after installing the extension. I love it!! Love that I could create my own shortcut. I used cmd + H to highlight which is more convenient than the original for me

de Der Highlighter funktioniert nicht mehr. Ich habe ihn von der Leiste als gepinnt kurz entfernt. Als ich ihn wieder angepinnt habe, ging gar nichts mehr.

en I've enjoyed this addon for months. I switched to this from another highlighter addon as this one would actually save the highlights in a more reliable manner. Recently it's stopped working though; my old highlights are still there, but if I try to make any new ones they disappear when I refresh the page. Hopefully this will be fixed as I've found this addon very helpful. I'm using it on the edge browser.
