| 2024-03-29 | Andre Bell | | Thanks for the follow up question. Today I reinstalled Yawas, a day later. Now Yawas works on web pages. Probably one of the other numerous extensions I had installed was an issue. IDK. I disabled a bunch of them before reinstalling Yawas. Anyhow is now a partial win. Works on web pages but not PDFs read by Firefox. Thx x2 --- Firefox 124.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows nothing happens. Neither right clicking the highlighted text nor using the shortcuts. Bummer. |

| 2023-10-30 | LSAFER MEEMER | | works! the highlights are saved after refresh and not like the other add-on. But, controls are not fast enough. I have to select the text then right-click then choose the Yawas option then choose the color I want. If there is a short-cut combination it would be better. Nevermind, there is shortcuts! `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `G` for green and `Y` for yellow and `R` for red and `B` for blue. Also, there is a problem when there is too many highlights in a single page. I was reading some document and highlighting the things I have read and understood and my highlights are over 140 but when I refreshed they got down to 70 |

| 2022-12-03 | piecevcake | | Easiest highlighter to use because of shortcuts and context. Great that it auti-saves as searchable bookmarks including highlighted text and added comment. Would be good to be able to see manual comments on the web page. Haven't figured out how to download the bookmarks to a text file yet, or the "blue" notes feature. |
