Great idea and pretty nice functionality (I love regex feature!). The only big issue is with sites that use dynamic contents. Once elements are highlighted they stay over changing data forever. So the extension become useless when using such sites. Minor issue is that the URL programmatic changes are not tracked too, and it's impossible to set strict scopes for rules.
