The Yellow Highlighter Pen for Web is a Chrome extension designed to help users easily highlight important information on long webpages using their mouse. It enhances web browsing by allowing you to visually mark key text and share your highlighted pages through special short links on social media, email, instant messaging, or save them as bookmarks.

This tool works seamlessly on regular web pages and supports secure HTTPS pages but does not support PDF or MS Word documents due to technical limitations. The extension has undergone multiple updates improving permissions and adding features like instant highlighting for better sharing on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. Additionally, users can view their highlights online via a dedicated portal and access plugins for other browsers. A premium version is also available offering advanced capabilities.

User reviews

Users find the Yellow Highlighter Pen extension easy to use with a simple one-click highlighting feature and appreciate its ability to organize and revisit highlighted pages with tags. However, many report major issues such as loss of highlights when pages are closed, lack of undo or delete functions, and intrusive pop-up ads.

Pity. Extension is now deprecated and no longer works with the latest version of Chrome (as others have said), but the bot reviews will disagree.
