Features & Capabilities

Instant Highlighter lets you mark any selected text on any website with a single click, using a color you choose in the Options page. It injects a tiny content script only when you act, keeping permissions minimal and your browsing fast. It does not collect data or make network requests. The add-on relies solely on the activeTab permission to access the current tab after a user action and the storage permission to remember your color preference. The interface is simple: a popup with buttons to highlight the current selection or clear previous highlights. Highlights are applied by wrapping your selection in <mark> elements—no unsafe innerHTML, no inline scripts, no remote code. It’s lightweight, privacy-respecting, and built to comply with AMO policies.

Is Instant Highlighter 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.

Instant Highlighter does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

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