Review by Vadim
Rated 2 out of 5
by Vadim, 6 years agoUnusable with fast changing websites:
I always have CookieClicker open in a pinned tab in background. This game has not a lot, but frequent changing text. My CPU fan was spinning up and I now found that Firefox was maxing out 2 CPU cores due to this addon (confirmed per about:performance report).
It's unacceptable for an add-on to skyrocket CPU usage. It's "monitoring for text changes" must be limited to the currently open tab at the very least. But it's apparent there're more power savings/optimisations possible.

Developer response
posted 6 years agoWhy would you want to use Textmarker on pages that frequently change their text content? Doesn't make any sense to me. You can opt-out of automatic content script loading and decide yourself for each website to load Textmarker or not. Also, this skyrocketing CPU usage can't be reproduced - neither by me nor by users who help me testing. So, if you want to enjoy free open-source software with less bugs then helping the devs in supplying detailed bug reports would be more efficient than letting the world know about what'd be acceptable and what not. Cheers.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17373669, 3 months agoSticky notes, because of which I downloaded the extension, work poorly. On light stickers, I almost always see light text. That is, I almost do not see the text while I type it.
The text is clearly visible only on the sidebar, where I have a sideberry.
In the settings, you cannot change the color of the note text. Also, you cannot change the color of the note to dark. Although you can change the color of the selected text, but this does not help. - Rated 5 out of 5by frostbyte, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Seän "frostbyte" Shepherd, a year agoThank you SO much for continuing development! I *just* found this outstanding extension after searching for the *perfect* Webpage annotation add-on, so I really appreciate it! I'd *easily* give it 11 out of 10 stars if there WERE 10 (or 11) stars available! <3

- Rated 1 out of 5by nug700, 2 years agoDO NOT USE. It will NOT save your hightlights in academic database sites like ProQuest. It might save your highlight for a day or so, but will randomly fail to load them DO NOT RELY ON THIS.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Cyberknight, 2 years agoGood interface, allowing changing the colours. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on some Pages, in some sites. Other similar tools does work on those same Pages, so it's a limitation of the extension (I didn't even wanted to save the highlights, all I really needed was marking for studying...)

- Rated 4 out of 5by micman, 2 years agoGood! Like other users, it is for me the best addon of his kind that I have found. A technical note: I use firefox and/or floorp. If I set "Preferences/Design/Manage Colors/Override the colors specified by the page with your selection above/Always", Textmaker doesn't work. It took me longtime to figure it out.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Joao, 2 years agoNot reliable. My highlights and notes disappeared after refreshing the page. I think the issue was related with multiple pages having the same title, although different file names. I'm working with local HTML files.
