User Reviews
I've found this pretty helpful when practising exam questions that would normally need pen and paper to work out, and when pointing out parts of screenshots to other people.
Some features that I'd like to suggest:
- A ruler and protractor tool to measure parts of a web page
- Keyboard shortcuts (e.g esc to stop the extension)

Is Highlite 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.
Highlite requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
- High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
- Medium ****** ********** ** ******** ********** *** ********* ******* ******** ****** ******** ****** ********
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.
Highlite is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
