I was using this extension for school and copy/pasting notes because the highlighter feature did not work. After reading the 34 pages and pasting the notes and clicking save, I thought everything was good. I came back later to write my paper and incorporate my notes but all of the saved notes were gone. Very disappointing.

This extension works. Unlike the other where the highlighted text is lost when you refresh or open the webpage again. You have to click the icon at the top in Chrome for the small dashboard to appear. The controls are all there. Very good design.
