| 2024-10-22 |  | | en | The Chrome version of this plugin does not automatically show the highlight I made before. Each time I need to click the plugin again to re-load it to the website to show the highlight.. |

| 2024-09-05 |  | | en | !! This extension may soon no longer be supported !! ...based on Chrome web store. Use their updated one instead: "Readwise Highlighter (Community)" Readwise is an excellent product! |
| 2024-07-12 |  | | en | Readwise Reader is an absolutely indispensable part of my knowledge system. I constantly run into interesting articles but don't have time to read them in the moment. Readwise lets me save them for when I do have time and formats them in a distraction-free way for focused reading. The Highlighter plugin is this wonderful addition to the web on top of that though – it means I can save just a paragraph or a sentence I love out of any page on the web. That highlight flows through Readwise and into my note-taking app and my link archive. Everything just stays organised for when I need it later. Indispensable! |

| 2024-07-04 |  | | en | If you highlight a code block using this plugin and review in readwise review, the linebreak is missing, which means all code is in ONE LINE. This maks the plugin difficulty to use |
| 2024-06-07 |  | | en | Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact.
