★★★★★ Rachel · 17 Jun 2026Marius did a fantastic job on this extension. In just the free version without signing up for premium I have found a way to highlight crucial details in my school research with multiple colors AND it tracks my highlights so I am not having to scroll through the entire webpage for it! In love with this organizational tool for perfect productivity. THANKS! <3

★★★★★ 叶 · 6 Apr 2026作者您好，这个软件很好用，给我在网页阅读方面提供了巨大的帮助！但是我有一个小意见，就是在使用各种ai网页的时候，我一般会同时打开上传给ai的pdf文件，然后进行双侧阅读（左侧是ai问答画面，右侧是打开的pdf文件），在这个过程中，我发现在对网页里侧边打开的pdf进行高光标记的时候会覆盖住原本的pdf内容，所以如果可以的话，希望能改进这一点。万分感谢！祝您生活愉快！

★★★★★ Dathan · 12 Nov 2025I've been a paid subscriber for about a year now, primarily using this highlighter for school research. I frequently highlight on various AI websites and am very satisfied with its performance. Recently, I experienced an unexpected system restart while preparing a paper, which involved highlights spread across 13 different pages.

★☆☆☆☆ Jason · 6 Mar 2025Does not work at all. I followed his instructions at the bottom of his page, and nothing happens. Nada. Zilch.

★★★★★ Brian · 1 Mar 2025I don't say this lightly . . . this is hands down the best highlighting add-on for MS Edge I've ever found. Easy, intuitive, user friendly, and full of great features. It took me forever to find one that really works well. This one does!

★★★★☆ Christina · 26 Feb 2025I found this very useful, especially for organizing my literature review. I made great use of the different choices of color of highlighting and tagging that were available

★★★★★ Barry · 7 Jan 2025If I could keep only one extension, this is the one I'd choose. It is very useful for academic research, consumer product research, or saving highlighted text for reference later. If you are looking for a web highlighter, I'd highly recommend you give this a try.

How these figures are measured
Change in installs, as observed between the two crawls named in "measured over", not scaled to the window: this store refreshes its install counts only occasionally, so one refresh lands in every window at once and these figures usually read 0 in between - the weekly change in ratings under Rating above is the better signal here. A window needs a full period of history before it reports anything.
