Description

Change Highlight background and text-color. It's easy to set the color with the built-in color picker or by copy and pasting color hex codes. Works on pretty much all websites. Compatible with Dark Reader. Pages might have to be reloaded after install for the highlight to be set. -- This extension does not read or handle any user data. https://andreto.github.io/Custom-Highlight/

I have no idea what the point of this is when there is not even a function to keep the highlight in place while highlighting another section. It is the exact same as just highlighting with your cursor in 1 click, just a different color. Defeats my entire purpose of downloading it.

Doesn't work with Google Docs while it clearly states that it does.

When I highlight something else or refresh a page, my first highlight goes away. No highlight button shown.

unlike another extention, it works on everything, including txt files. But in this one you have to save it everytime you change a color. Happy it works but could be better, so 50-50

I wanted to use this to change the default highlight color in googledocs but this extension only for certain websites. For instance, it doesn't work on this review page or googledocs but it does work if I just google something. Can you please let me know if I'm doing something wrong? Thanks!
