en I have been using this extension for a few years without much problem. I think most reviewers don't realize that after you install the extension you need to refresh ⟳ any websites that are already open in a tab. The developer should write that clearly in the instructions. Also the developer should let users know that extensions are not allowed to work at the Chrome Web Store or any special chrome:// pages. Attention Developer: There is a way to make extensions install the content script on tabs that are already open when an extension is installed using chrome.scripting.executeScript().

en Does not work for me. Even Highlighting is barely possible but only if you deactivate all other script blocking plugins. And there is no option to copy/transfer the text into a external markdown app. Standard copy paste does not include the highlights. Sorry for that bad review - maybe i am only a layer 8 problem :-)

en First, thank you to "That Girl" for the quick how-to on making this extension work! This extension is awesome! I can now highlight directly on a website, even exit the site, go back to it...and my original highlight is still there! I tried this on several news articles. It works! What a great researching tool!

en Guys it does work! After you've installed this highlighting tool. On your chrome, Click on the option that has the three dots (top right corner) > Settings > Accessibility > Click on "Show a quick highlight on the focused object" Then refresh the page with the document you want to highlight, select the text, and then right click "Highlight" (or Alt + H) Hope that helps :)
