Super Simple Highlighter

Make permanent, private highlights on any web page.

Super Simple Highlighter- Add-on for Edge

Super Simple Highlighter is a unique Edge add-on that lets users make private highlights on any web page. These highlights are stored and restored upon revisiting the page. It offers a variety of highlighting styles, including basic colors, redaction and blurs that can be made through mouse or keyboard shortcuts. The add-on provides a navigable popup dialog for highlights within a page, and a summary of highlights that can be viewed, printed, or saved. It operates entirely in your browser, doesn't sync across devices and may not always successfully restore highlights on revisits.

Simple and works with latest Edge Beta. You have to grant the extension permission but then it works. Would like a blue color added, Cyan is the only thing close to blue which is available. Would be great if you would add blue. Thanks.

This is amazing, it really lets you export everything you've highlighted from a page. I've tried several other highlighter extensions, but this really is the best.
