About this extension
  • Smart Highlighting: Automatically detects and highlights:
    • Uppercase words (e.g., "IMPORTANT")
    • Capitalized words (e.g., "Keyword")
    • Mixed case and hyphenated words
  • CSS Custom Highlight API: Uses the modern CSS Custom Highlight API for high performance and native-feeling highlights without cluttering the DOM.
  • Adaptive Contrast: Intelligently adjusts highlight colors based on the background color (light or dark) to ensure readability.
  • Smart Exclusions:
    • Ignores sentence starters to prevent over-highlighting.
    • Skips specific tags like scripts, styles, inputs, code blocks, and links (anchor tags).
    • Respects contenteditable elements.
  • Custom Highlighting:
    • Define custom keywords with specific colors (e.g., yellow: Python, Java).
    • Supports case-insensitive and whole-word matching.
  • Advanced Keyword Registry:
    • Persistent Memory: Remembers highlighted keywords per-domain or globally (*.*).
    • Retroactive Highlighting: If a keyword is discovered mid-sentence, it gets added to the registry. On subsequent visits (or retroactively on the same page), it will be highlighted even if it appears at the start of a sentence.
    • Configurable Scope: Define maximum registry size and scope (global vs. domain-specific).
  • Customizable:
    • Toggle extension on/off globally or per-site.
    • Manage site exclusions/inclusions via the options page.
    • Advanced Settings:
      • Minimum Words in Block: Configure the minimum word count for a block to be highlighted (default: 10).
      • Custom Colors: Adjust the background highlight colors and opacity for both light and dark modes.
