- Rated 1 out of 5by danc2, a month 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, 6 months 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, 6 months agoReally useful. Would like if it could highlight using RGBA colors instead of just RGB.
- Rated 4 out of 5by filobus, 10 months 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, 10 months 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, a year 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.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Cobra, 3 years agoLong ago this was a very stable and excellent program . . . not so much anymore. I have tried running this on Chrome, Firefox and Edge and the same thing happens on each browser . . . it simply stops working. I mostly use it on titantv.com to highlight favorite programs. It's just not stable anymore. It will hold the words for a little while and then suddenly they're all gone again. This is too bad, because it "was" a great program. Anyone know of a similar program?
