What it does

Turn any website into an instant forum, where you can: leave comments, see other people's cursors / what text they're highlighting, and chat with them. Use it to annotate code, highlight online tutorials / books, and discuss people's blogs.

Highlight useful text as you read. Organize it, search it, and return to the original page from Chrome

Highlight useful text as you read. Keep it organized and easy to find. Save highlights, add notes and tags, and return to the page. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. Search every highlight, note, tag, and page title in seconds. Free to install. Sign in with Google to keep your libraryfrom webhighlighter.com
