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.
