There are two types of highlighters that we can use on the internet . The first type allows you to highlight, on a website, the words that were used to find that page on Google.
In this way, unless the open web page is really specific and answers exactly the question, you don't have to start looking by eye where the part we are interested in is, just use the highlighter tool to underline the words you are looking for or others terms present within the web page.
This allows you to quickly locate the most relevant part of the page and find the necessary information.
The second type, on the other hand, is useful for underlining the important parts of a page in order to keep them in a kind of notebook or to share them as targeted citations.
For the first type of highlighter, previously there was a Google Chrome extension called Quick Scroll that automated the search process for terms used to find a site.
Now this extension no longer exists and there are no other alternatives so, to find the words you are looking for on a web page, there is nothing left to do but press the CTRL-F keys (combination that works on all browsers) and highlight that word on the page.
Below, instead, we see those of the second type, to be used as web highlighters that can highlight words and text on a website.
