What's New in The Magic Highlighter

0.7.1

September 6, 2023

Long-overdue bugfixes, with more coming soon... * Fixed issue with Magic Highlights on DuckDuckGo * Fixed background color styling issues, hopefully including issue where The Magic Highlighter was causing problems with other Safari Extensions that apply "dark mode" styling to websites that don't natively support it. * Fixed bug that could prevent phrase deletion (⌘-Shift-F + D) * Fixed selected phrase styling (⌘-Shift-F + ↑ or ↓ arrows); the actively selected phrase should now appear as bold text * Fixed an issue that prevented ⌘-Click support, and overall improved click handling * Fix dark mode styles for magic highlight toggle and options icons

Doesn’t work on Kagi - abandoned

The app doesn’t work on Kagi, despite claiming it does. I filed a support ticket a year ago. The developer hasn’t updated the app since, or responded, so it appears abandoned. I recommend folks stay away.

I’ll note that the highlighting still seems to work fine with other search engines.
