The best highlighter till 2025
by Sahil, 2025-04-11
Cannot praise the functionality, convenience and usefulness of this extremely well-designed highlighter/annotator/bookmark add-on enough!. There is also a Web dashboard that consolidates all of your saved highlights and allows for flawless filtering and download. Give it a try!!
