Notion Highlighter: A Chrome Plugin for Web Highlighting and Syncing
Notion Highlighter is a free Chrome plugin developed by chxfantasy that allows users to easily highlight text on websites. With a simple right-click or keyboard shortcut, users can highlight any text on a webpage and save the highlights directly on their device.
One of the main features of Notion Highlighter is its ability to sync all the saved highlights to the user's Notion database, as long as the user has granted access. This ensures that the highlights are accessible across different devices and can be easily organized within Notion.
Using Notion Highlighter is extremely straightforward. Users can simply select the text they want to highlight, right-click, and choose the "Highlight" option. The plugin takes care of the syncing process in the background, so users don't have to worry about manually saving or syncing their highlights.
All the highlighted texts are saved on the user's device, so even if they exit a page, they can easily retrieve their highlights by reopening the page. It's important to note that Notion Highlighter may not work on highly dynamic webpages like Facebook or most email clients.
By default, Notion Highlighter automatically syncs the highlights to the user's Notion workspace. However, users have the option to disable the sync with just one click if they prefer not to sync their highlights.
It's worth mentioning that Notion Highlighter does not collect any usage data. All the data are stored locally using Chrome's local storage and in the user's Notion workspace. The project is a fork from the open-source repository by jeromepl/highlighter, with some modifications made by the developer.
Notion Highlighter is a convenient tool for those who frequently highlight text while browsing the web. With its seamless syncing feature, users can easily access their highlights across devices and keep them organized within Notion.
