OMG YES! I’m so glad this is finally on Safari!!!

This extension was the only reason I was still using Chrome. Now that there is a Safari version I can finally completely move to Safari!
This is always the first (and sometimes only) extension I install. I just happened to check the GitHub for this project and was so excited to see that there is now a Safari version!
It does exactly what it says it does. Select some text and every occurrence is highlighted on the page. This extension is so simple yet saves me so much time. Yeah, I know I can just hit command+f, but you’d be surprised how much of a convenience this extension is.
Seriously - Many thanks to the developer for this!!!
