Is Highlighter safe?
Highlight selected text on webpages and keep those highlights when you return.
This extension adds a right-click and keyboard-shortcut option for highlighting text on webpages. It saves highlights for pages so they can reappear when you reopen them, and it lets you view, copy, delete, and customize highlight colors. The description says it uses Google Analytics for non-personal usage information.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Highlighter contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
