Browser text highlighting extensions

This cluster consists of browser extensions that let users highlight text on webpages, with features such as persistence across sessions, natural-language passage search, and navigation between matches. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from, as only one dated entry exists. JEV---Job-Hiring-Content-Detector leads traction with 2 stars, ahead of laya-needle (1 star) and Copy-Unbound (0 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
