- The marker is highlighted on hover over the anchored content.
- Click on the toolbar button to remove all markers.

【  HISTORY  】

Before creating this extension, I've been using the "Display Anchors" feature of Chris Pederick's
"Web Developer" extension for Chrome.
An unfortunate "feature" of this implementation is that the markers cause changes to the layout, resulting in some
loss of time to find the position of the page before activating the anchors (and a broken layout looks ugly).
Besides that, the extension had too much overhead (it activates on every page, and consumes memory even when I did
not use it). This encouraged me to develop a new extension that offers the desired feature in an optimal way.

That's a really useful and simple extension, thank you! I wonder if it could have a DOM element 'id' option because it's possible to use a hashtag URL anchor with a DOM id. Some pages may get too cluttered with this, so probably not as a default. However, it can be helpful for websites that don't have enough regular anchors defined. Just as an idea, but the extension is already great as is.
