This highlighter browser add-on is simply FANTASTIC!
Truth717March 10, 2009
Pros
I LOVE the fact that this highlighter is easy-access. You select what you want highlighted and right click and choose "Highlight" from the drop-down menu. I've been ALL over the net looking for a CLEAN add-on for my browser (Flock). I love it!
Cons
If you navigate away from the page where you have highlights, you'lll have to re-highlight that text whenever you return to that page. In simpler terms, your highlights are not saved and it's only good for the time that you are on that web page.
Summary
I love the basic function of the highlighter add-on. I just needed a simple highlighter for my browser. However, I don't like the fact that my highlights are not saved and I would have to re-highlight any text that was previously highlighted whenever I return to that web address.
