to_use

    


      
click icon || @hotkey[!g] -> activate extension (auto focus)

      
click Run Highlight || @hotkey[!k] -> find & highlight the words

      
right click icon > option page -> set default options

      
click on the highlight position marker -> scroll to the found word

      


scroll on the regex word stat table -> scroll to next/prev found word

    

  

  


    
flaw

    


      
it may not find all words, due to overlapping

      
it may find words that are hidden



      
try not to search on body / div -- its laggy & potential buggy

      
_ the order of matched words _ is messy -- because the way selector works (maybe)

    

    


      
I know the On/Off has some issues, could have fixed it in code related to `tabId: tab.id,` / `tabs[0]`, too lazy to do so...

    

  

  


    
installation

    


      
download the released .crx file

      
unzip it

      
load it as an unpacked extension in Google Chrome Extension Page (under development mode)

      
(This is not in Google Chrome Extension Store -- I was unable to do so (or, currently))
