Yawas (Yet Another Web Annotation System) is a browser extension to highlight web pages and PDF documents. It works both for Chrome and Firefox.
As of August 2021, your annotations are stored in the built-in Chrome (or Firebox) Bookmarks. Since the chrome.bookmarks API only allows storing a URL and a title fields, Yawas stores your highlights inside the title field. To keep things clean, a new Yawas folder is created at the root of your Chrome Bookmarks.
There is also a new option allowing you to import your online Google Bookmarks into Chrome Bookmarks: click on the Yawas icon in your toolbar to show that option.
You can clone this repository and install the extension locally.
You can also download it directly for Chrome or Firefox
