This works like a charm. Even the German Umlauts show which is rare for any highlighter I tried. I had some difficulties in the beginning with importing a txt list, until I realized that every word in the list needs to be listed under each other which took me some time to do since the Multi Highlighter I used before and is no longer supported by Chrome, did not require that and you could put any word right in the highlighter extension and words did not need to be separated. Trust me, I tried so many highlighters and this one is a sure thing.

Doesn't work. I'm just picking a colour, searching, typing a word, picking a colour, searching... nothing happens. it's rubbish.

This looks pretty useful for checking content quickly for key words. Could use some documentation to explain what all the options are. I kept changing the colour of a word only to find it would change back until I changed the colour for the whole list. My only concern is what data - if any - is being sent to the developer or other sites? Since it can read everything on a page and the page could include confidential info, how safe is this plug-in?
