Mark My Search por ator-dev

Mark My Search is a complete word finder for anything you search online. Powerful highlighting and advanced features combine with a friendly, intuitive interface to provide effortless text finding without the compromise. Vibrant highlight colours look great on any page, complemented by scroll markers for locating matches and a keyword edit bar which stays there until you're done. Shortcuts are available for every action while varied options let you personalise to your taste.

Search for anything, on any search engine - DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, or even Reddit - and Mark My Search will pick out the words you're looking for, in that page and through any links you follow. Highlighting happens without having to press a button! The extension also functions as a generic text finder, so can be manually activated on any page using Alt+Shift+M or the context menu.

I respect your privacy, so no personal data is ever collected. The only stored data is your settings and keywords.
Mark My Search is Free and Open Source on GitHub.

Accessibility

To turn off visibility for automatic highlighting, simply open the options page at about:addons > [Mark My Search] > [Preferences] and disable both visibility settings. The highlights will be hidden, while the toolbar and scroll markers remain visible, ready to be shown at a moment's notice. This does not apply to manually activated highlighting.

To turn off automatic highlighting completely, click the extension's icon to open the popup, and disable "Highlight web searches".

Permission justifications

• Access browser tabs: Highlighting begins when a search happens in a tab.
• Access your data for all web sites: A scary permission but absolutely necessary to the basic function of the extension, enabling Mark My Search to read the structure of any webpage you visit (when activated) and subsequently insert highlighting. It does not read or interpret any data except to match it with your search keywords, and no data is ever stored.
• Read and modify bookmarks: Mark My Search checks for 'dynamic bookmarks' (shortcuts to search engines) to identify these searches. It does not modify bookmarks or store any data.
