- Rated 3 out of 5by oax, 5 months agoIt works fine, but backups saved on google chrome are not compatible with firefox. Chrome backup looks completely different and works only with version 21 of the addon, but firefox uses version 19 :(

- Rated 1 out of 5by danc2, 8 months agopubmatic ad running on my computer without permission! Other extensions are doing this like LanguageTool and Metamask even. Disable them or get this useless junk off of your browser.

- Rated 5 out of 5by lolothesilly, a year agoVery useful! I got tired of being inundated with irrelevant advertised products on shopping sites, so I download this and set a filter to highlight words like "ad" and "sponsored" in red on the sites I use. Instant clear visual cue so I know which items I can skip over & which ones are what I actually searched for, without having to hunt down the small-print "ad" markers. Thanks for the great plugin :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Tony, a year agoReally useful. Would like if it could highlight using RGBA colors instead of just RGB.
- Rated 4 out of 5by filobus, a year agoNice and useful, thank you.
Lately I have a problem with 2 lists I have created for the same site (outlook web): I want to highlight some email objects with one color and other with another color, but it works only when I open a list, save it without any changes, and then all words are correctly highlighted. If I don't do this it doesn't work....
(I'd like to highlight also the number of mails received for a mail folder, but I wasn't able to create a rule for this, outlook site code seems too complicated for me!)
(I have last Firefox installed, 114.0.1) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17910327, a year agoI sure can't figure out how to use this. Not very intuitive.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alexander A., a year agoHello, Wim. Couldn't find a bug report page, so I'm posting it here.
There's a bug with Regex's Lookahead/Lookbehind where it mixes up colors of the highlighted words if a pattern containing Lookahead/Lookbehind was found (at least that's how I think it works).
To reproduce this you need to create three lists and color them red, green and blue. Then add to each list one of these patterns: "r(?=[a-z])", g(?=[a-z]), b(?=[a-z]). Then reload a page and see that a lot of the highlighted letters don't match their colors. It will also mix up the colors of patterns not containing Lookahead/Lookbehind if you add those as well.
A couple of requests: could you please make the list of word lists slimmer? I usually make a bunch of differently color-coded lists for websites, and sometimes it requires some amount of scrolling to get to the list I need. Also, notifications that the list is limited to certain websites are unnecessary because, you know, every list should have those. Also, case-insensitive sorting method for lists and words would be appreciated.
Other than that, it's a "Must Have" add-on, greatly improved my browsing experience! - Rated 5 out of 5by Paulo muniz, 2 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Lindsay, 2 years agoThis app is ok. Doesn't always pick out all the correct words to highlight.
- Rated 5 out of 5by furomin, 2 years agoReally useful addon! Use it on nearly all my brwosers, works flawlessly even on something like Edge!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17049191, 3 years agoI lost all my lists after import some lists from another pc. Please consider to develop a auto-backup or multi-list combining feature. Many thanks.
