Cannot get rid of Highlighter EVEN once deleted - the main problem is that somehow the link highlights are following one of customers live websites around the internet - showing dotted lines on different browsers. Even when deleted and cleared all browser cache, it is still highlighting URLs on my websites I create - EVEN on other devices using different browsers? How has this happened? surely this extension is browser specific and should not highlight links from other browsers when visiting a website ESPECIALLY after deletion?? I am totally confused and have to answer to my customer why his website is covered in highlighted boxes - I need to remove highlighting from his website - Tell me how asap.Urgent
