Description

Find text content with regular expression and highlight it, or collapse unnecessary blocks.

Find text content with regular expression and highlight it, or collapse unnecessary blocks. It was writed for facilitating some text log analyze.
You can to add "url matches" for permanent enabling on some domains / pages.

### Features:
* local storage of preferences (currently there is no need for synchronized storage)
* import / export profiles
* enable / disable on tab
* customizable work mode (e.g. you can add regexp matching to needly URL's, where extension will active always)
* color changing ability for every regexp and collapse block
* reading sequential text elements, to which chrome devide the content due to constraints (~ 65535 length). Bypassing the built-in elements is not implemented for a variety of reasons and also as useless

I both love and hate this extensions. Many things can go wrong with it, but it's the only one that does exactly what I want and can be refreshed without reloading the page. I can deal with not being able to change the default profile or it randomly changing certain expressions when you open the setup, but there is one issue that makes it nearly unusable: it will stop working randomly, does not refresh, does not show as active. I need to keep re-installing it to keep using it.
