Did what I wanted it to do which was to highlight specific pre-determined words on a webpage but it does not work well. It keeps messing webpages up and adding the keyword to the webpages even when the word actually does not exist on the page. The webpage ends up looking a right mess. It basically damages the page structure so it's 2-stars from me. If they fix this then I'd say it was 5-star but it's not usable in it's current state. I tried to uninstall and re-install but it made no difference. I was using google chrome (fully up to date) on a Mac.

Thighs to fix: You cannot effectively turn off randomness of highlighting colors. If you want to have one color for one list you just cannot set this. There is no documentation how to properly import word lists. Sometimes when you click enter you extend current word text input instead of adding new word. Transfering word lists between computers do not work for browser profile.

I tried to find x-ft of a charging cable in Amazon it did not find 'ft' probably because it was part of a word, e.g 3ft but even after tinkering with the regex and making a search for *ft it did not do anything after turning on the regex setting
