Quick Text Highlighter

highlight text quickly

Boost your reading efficiency and vocabulary tracking with high-performance text highlighting. This extension automatically finds and highlights your defined list of words or phrases on every web page you visit. Whether you are learning a new language, researching specific topics, or simply need to track keywords, this tool makes them stand out instantly without slowing down your browser. Unlike traditional highlighters that modify the page structure (DOM), this extension uses the modern CSS Custom Highlight API. This ensures maximum performance, no page layout shifts, and zero interference with other web functionalities. Key Features: ⚡ High Performance: Uses the native CSS Custom Highlight API for instant rendering without lag. 🖱️ Easy List Management: Add: Select any text on a page to see a tooltip, then click "Add to List". Remove: Select an already highlighted word to see a "Remove from List" button. Replace: Quickly replace your entire list with the selected text. 🛠️ Floating Tooltip: The action tooltip appears near your selection. You can drag and drop it to a preferred position, and it remembers where you left it. 🚫 Smart Exclusions: URL Exclusion: Prevent highlighting on specific websites (e.g., Google Docs, email). Word Exclusion: Define specific words to ignore, even if they match patterns. 📋 Clipboard Integration: Use keyboard shortcuts to replace or add words directly from your clipboard content. 🔄 Sync Support: Your word lists and settings are saved via Chrome Storage Sync, keeping your data consistent across all your devices. ON/OFF Toggle: Quickly enable or disable highlighting with a single click on the extension icon or badge. How to Use: Highlighting Words: Simply select text on any webpage. A tooltip will appear. Click "Add to List" to start highlighting that word everywhere. Removing Words: Select a word that is currently highlighted. The tooltip will show a red "Remove from List" button. Click it to stop highlighting that word. Managing Lists: Click the extension icon to open the popup. Here you can manually edit your Word List, manage Excluded URLs, and toggle the extension ON/OFF. Moving the Tooltip: If the tooltip is in your way, simply drag it by the side padding to a new location. Privacy: This extension processes text locally within your browser to apply highlights. Your browsing data is not sent to any external servers.
