Features & Capabilities

HighlightAll is a powerful Chrome extension that automatically highlights and counts all occurrences of a selected word without any toolbar buttons. It offers two modes: native highlighting using the browser's built-in features, and a customizable mode featuring multiple highlight colors and visual search markers alongside the scrollbar.

Users can toggle highlighting via customizable keyboard shortcuts or keep it always active. Highlights can be removed individually by color or all at once through the context menu. HighlightAll requires permission to access website data solely to scan page content for text highlighting, ensuring user privacy. This extension improves productivity and readability by visually emphasizing repeated words across web pages, making information scanning quick and efficient.

User Reviews

HighlightAll is praised for adding persistent text highlighting that is useful for developers and general browsing, with functionality similar to IDEs and FindbarTweak features. It improves upon native Firefox highlighting and is appreciated for its simplicity and effectiveness. Common issues include loss of highlights on page refresh, limited operation within scripted elements, lack of deeper integration with Firefox findbar features, no predefined keyword highlighting, and occasional interference with certain websites like Teams.

Pros

Adds useful highlighting features similar to IDEs, beneficial for developers and code review.
Persistent highlighting when scrolling, better than native Firefox highlight」「Simple and effective functionality that 'just works'.
Native Mode improves functionality and speed, similar to old FindbarTweak addon.
Select and highlight feature is excellent for quickly identifying instances on a page.

Cons

Does not work inside scripted elements like search bars on Google/Bing.
Page refresh resets all highlights, causing loss of persistent highlights.
Lacks integration with Firefox findbar such as sending highlighted text to findbar and match case option.
Lacks predefined keywords feature for highlighting multiple terms automatically.
Interferes with some websites like Microsoft Teams, blocking access due to security policies.

Is HighlightAll Safe?

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.

HighlightAll requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

HighlightAll has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
