Review Summary

Users generally find 'Highlight This' effective for highlighting and managing large word lists across websites and daily workflow tasks. It is praised for speed, customization, and utility. However, recurring issues include poor customer support, problems with license key distribution for the paid version, visual glitches, and functional limitations such as minimum word length and lack of navigation back to highlights. While many users love the extension for its core features, frustration with payment and support has caused some negative experiences.

Pros

  • Runs quickly and efficiently even with hundreds of highlights.
  • Offers a good level of customization and integration, including with Google Sheets.
  • Useful and appreciated by users for its core functionality of highlighting words.

Cons

  • The paid version requires a subscription and license key, which some users report issues receiving, leading to frustration and claims of poor developer support.
  • No reference links or navigation back to highlighted text sources, limiting usability for some workflows.
  • Occasional visual bugs like borders around highlights and doubling of highlighted terms on some sites (e.g., LinkedIn).
