Highlight This: finds and marks words

It does what it says. Doesn't seem to be the best looking, and some of the instructions for things like the actions are not as understandable for someone who only knows the basics of browsing the web. I installed this to see if there was a specific feature, but sadly there is not and will be removing it. It seems like it has been a while since there was any updates, but if you are still supporting this, it could be a useful feature to add an "Action" to show a specific note that you have typed up when you click on the highlighted text. With that feature alone, I know there are 30+ of us that would install this immediately. Again, it does what you have intended it to do, and might be exactly what others need, just not me.

Great add-on.
But I think URL blacklist is not working globally (blacklist per list is working)

This highlighter is unmatched. But it could really use a tooltip feature on hover or click that displays the list name the item belongs to. That way if there are several highlights of similar color, they can be differentiated, but more importantly, we can save important information about the highlights. This would basically allow us not only to highlight specific keywords but basically end up with a function to append a note/text/label to those highlights, with what would probably take very little programming. I do believe such a feature would revolutionize the way many of use use the web. Wanted to submit that to your vote site, but it seems to be down.

Troubleshooting in case anyone is having issues:

One day it stopped working. Comepletely broken, will not highlight anything. Nothing changed, settings are the same, nothing is paused, nothing in the white/blacklist. Very strange. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and various other things to no avail. Eventually I had a hunch and went into chrom://flags (vivaldi://flags, in my case) and enabled "Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost," reinstalled the extension, and voila, it's working again. HOWEVER importing a backup of previous settings broke the extension again. I had to add them all back manually.

I would really like to see the developer address this problem at least by pointing to instructions of some kind for how to solve this problem.

Works as intended. However, if you search the wordlist and delete the word you searched for and then save the list, it will DELETE ALL WORDS IN THE LIST.. Now I have to remember and rewrite every single word in the list again....
