Reviews of highlighter:
I love this tool very much for its simplicity-cum-power. I have been facing one persistent problem though. If a website has poor design the selection jumps uncontrollably sometimes. In such cases, a large chunk of text is elected and highlighted. It is fine up to here. The problem is the pop-up in this tool to change delete the highlights does not appear on very large chunks of highlighted text. The tool menu from the extension bar shows me all the highlights. The large chunk highlighted appears too. In the menu, I wished there was an option to select the chunk individually and delete it. But, currently, the menu has only "Delete All" option. I request the developer, to either make the popup tool more consistent or add an option in tool menu from the extension bar to select and delete the items individually.
While copying all highlighted text at once and pasting somewhere, there is no space between each highlighted paragraphs. It would be nice if developer could add a line gap between each highlighted text while pasting everything at once. Delete all button is also not working.
Simply the best
