How would you validate a browser highlighter that finds hidden matches?
I am finishing building Highlighter Extension to handle cases Cmd‑F misses: hidden/truncated content and matches inside iframes.
- Technically it uses CSS Custom Highlights, ancestor reveal + glow, and cross‑frame assist; tested on Jira/Confluence/Metabase.
- I’m looking for advice on validation: which sites/tools would you use to pressure‑test this? What benchmarks matter most (latency, CPU, false positives)?
- Happy to share internals or create repros based on suggestions.
P.S.
Real smart folks would probably ask way earlier, than when I am already finishing certainly.
- gus_massa 1y agoIs the code available?
- artemfi 1y agoIt was not even published until minutes ago :) By now it is - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/highlighter-extension/dfhmehiahpefcffojiocmodpapdbglfc https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/highlighter-extensi... Conceptually it's just CSS Highlight API + mutation observer, nothing to boast about too much.
