Everything is fine I reccomend this extension

Ingenious and amazing solution for highlighting keywords (customer names on the WC orders page) and adding a comment about them. I was hoping to be able to synchronise data with another PC without needing to sync Firefox. Perhaps the possibility of defining the path of the local backup? Thanks!

I would really love this add-on if highlighting would also work in PDFs. I want to use it mainly for scientific research to faster identify relevant papers. The automatic and very fine tunable keyword highlighting combined with the view on the right hand side showing where the highlights are is EXACTLY what I am looking for. Maybe I missed the relevant setting but changing to highlight in every page did not fix it. Adding the PDF functionality would make it a really powerful tool for a (maybe almost every) researcher. Please, please add this! P.S. I tried to find another way of contacting you but this is the only way I could find.
