User Reviews

This is exactly what I am looking for but unfortunately, it doesn't highlight all recognised words the first time in many cases. You can even notice that on the test page they offer. Double click the word "word" there and not all are highlighted. Double click it again, and it highlights the rest. It happens on other pages as well. And, it's a bit laggy. I hope they can work on both those issues.

Is HighlightHunter 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.

HighlightHunter requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.

HighlightHunter is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
