Modern web browsers are carefully designed to make it as easy as possible for people of all skill levels to search the internet, visit websites, and access web applications for things like email and online banking. However, even with all of the combined investment of the largest companies in the world — including Apple, Microsoft, and Google — it’s simply not possible to offer built-in features to customize the browser experience for all 5 billion (!) internet users. That’s where browser extensions come in.

Browser extensions are small software applications that extend or add functionality to modern web browsers.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever searched for something online, scrolled past the ads, clicked a link that appears to have the answer to your question (perhaps based on the search result preview snippet), and then spent too much time looking for the actual content you need. 🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼

The Magic Highlighter is our bid to put an end to this insanity frustration. The Magic Highlighter is a brand new Safari Extension that automatically highlights your Google.com, DuckDuckGo.com, and Bing.com search terms and phrases on search result web pages — saving you time, and helping you find what you’ve been searching for.
