From time to time, I want to highlight content I read online — so I can return to the page and find the important stuff later.
I do this for my own personal note-taking. And I highlight content that I later share in online presentations or coaching calls.
Enter Super Simple Highlighter — an extension for the Chrome browser. This is a free tool that allows you to highlight text on a web page. Next time you return to that page, your highlights will be there for you.Â
I love this tool!
