Works at times

Doesn't work. Removed.

Terrible and inconsistent. After installing I had to refresh the page several times before I was able to highlight. Even after turning on, the 'turn on' button still say 'turn on' and not 'turn off'. Highlighted text does not print on hardcopy or in PDF format. Extension does not keep a list of highlighted items in the page.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Highlight it requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Highlight it may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
