Much faster than other Highlighter Addons here :) But also this crashes Facebook pages (memory leaks), but not so often as the others, when marking "com" and so on. :( Another: when i mark text by double click only all same phrases where marked but the original text is unmarked then. This is annoying when i only want to copy text.
