2024-02-15 Lee This app activates in the ON mode and causes problems with the web page when attempting to select text in the search field of any site with a search field. For example, I go to Bing and want to erase the text in the search field, the Edge Web Highlighter highlights the text and fouls up the page display. If I could upload a screenshot, I would. Additionally, because the extension is already in the ON mode, attempting to select text doesn't work because the extension highlights text instead of allowing one to select and copy the text. If these two problems were fixed, I believe the extension would be worthy of using. For now, I am uninstalling the extension due to frustration with this bug.

2024-02-06 Dee Can not get it to work. When I left click to highlight what I want to use highlighter for, then I click the extension, it only pops up a window wanting me to rate it. Very frustrating and disappointing!
