Hi, great extension, love it!! However can you make it so: when i open the extension menu and change "deck" and "note type" it remembers these two settings and when i close the extension menu (even if i don't make any actual flashcard that i send to Anki) and open it up again there would be the same "deck" and "note type" just like when i exited Thanks in advance! :D

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Anki Highlight Helper requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
