Reviews & Comments of Highlighter + Notes chrome extension

greate

This extension has serious problems. If you want it to work correctly don't add a highlight after you've clicked a link to navigate within the same page, and if a page has highlights don't refresh the page after you've clicked such a link. The problem is, this extension saves highlights by URL (of course) but it includes the anchor (#go_here) in the URL. As far as it's concerned `page.html` and `page.html#go_here` are two different pages, so if you create a highlight before you click a link (on `page.html`), then click a link to move down the page and create another highlight, you'll see the 2nd highlight (on `page.html#go_here`) if you refresh the page but not the 1st (on `page.html`), and see the 1st highlight if you navigate back to `page.html` but not the 2nd. A related problem is that a highlight in the "second" page (`page.html#go_here`) can disappear completely if it follows too closely a highlight in the "first" page (`page.html`). The extension places highlights by dead reckoning, counting HTML elements to locate the text to highlight. The extension adds elements to highlight that text; those elements are part of the count for succeeding highlights. If a highlight is omitted when the page is refreshed then the count can be wrong for a highlight which followed it and the extension won't be able to locate the corresponding text. That also means this extension can't really remove highlights, it can only add another highlight on top of the existing highlight(s), colored like the page background. It's a mess.

Didn't work on any website I tried.

The only highlighter extension that I found that actually works.

please make the note with highlighter not just whole page, better make the function combine with right click.

does this work for pdf too? If yes then how?

I DON'T KNOW THIS EXIST ON CHROME!! it's will be great if you put link from firefox addons and chrome webstore to the extension. I literally don't know.. if i know that before i will just used it from a while ago and no need to struggling to found something similar.. btw i like this extension just because it's simple.. that's it (most of highlighter extension that i found is just really complicated

Works great! Once I figured out how to use it, I was excited. This is the only one that I was able to get to work. I also like that I don't have to create an account. I just need to highlight some words to make them stand out while I'm teaching. Thanks to the developer for this great extension!

One of the most reliable highlighters for light, minimal users who do not want fancy bells and whistles. It is light on storage and does not ask for personal info. It does not sync across devices or ask you to make an account to store your highlights so do bear that in mind. If you refresh the page, the data may disappear. But it is excellent for my reading needs and I like the 5 colours! It really is able to highlight across nearly all webpages (except for Chrome webstore, pdf or pages modified by reader extensions) and you can even take notes for the page itself (not for each highlight). I used this on Mozilla and it worked fine for me so now I'm adding it to Chrome as well. A very simple product for simple users like myself. ?

The most underrated application. This extension absolutely works like a charm. Had been using it on Firefox and now using it on Google Chrome. Pros: It is simple to use as compared to other similar applications. Cons: I didn't find any to be honest. Maybe the developer "Prateek" could add instructions for the people who are finding it difficult to use. Anyways, Thanks man.

I JUST DON'T GET TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS, i've been trying for ages and it just don't work >:(
