ReadLayer is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you find information faster by automatically highlighting keywords or phrases on any website or PDF document you view in your browser. Its multi-highlight feature lets you assign colors to multiple keywords or phrases simultaneously, including support for synonyms and similar terms using flexible matching techniques like regular expressions (Regex).

The extension supports advanced features such as proximity-based highlighting, granular theme classification, dynamic page content updates, and multi-language support without compromising your privacy. All your data is locally stored, encrypted, and easily synchronized across your devices. While the free version offers robust capabilities for web content, the Premium upgrade adds multi-highlighting support directly in PDFs within the browser. ReadLayer is ad-free, regularly updated, requires no registration, and empowers users to streamline their reading and research experience efficiently.

FOR WEB PDF NOT SUPPORTING

Safras Deen Salay, 2024-05-27

I give this extension the highest rating because, since I started using it, I have saved a lot of time. It allows me to create keyword dictionaries that help me speed up my document readings and minimize information loss. I find it very useful for public procurement as it reduces the risk of not detecting key tenders for the business. I also believe that it can be useful for any task that requires extracting key information in a high-volume data scenario.
