When will the export functionalities for highlights and notes available?

Is there an option to disable the highlight feature? I don't particularly need it, and when I use another extension to save pages for offline archiving the highlight bar just shows up in the corner.

In Firefox the highlight badge (panel?) stopped to show when I select text in pages. How can I solve this issue?

UPDATE: I figured this out. When I clicked on "save all tabs" button I was asked for this permission and I granted it and then could see the highlights. I don't think I was asked before this and save all tabs is unrelated to highlights so this might be unclear to people who want to see the full capability of this feature.

Amazing work! Question: How do I turn on "Access data on all websites" that you mention in the FAQ? (https://help.raindrop.io/highlights/#faq) ... I have been searching around but can't find this. Does this allow you to see your highlights on the live page when you have the extension or you can only see it on the simplified preview version?

Has the Safari extension not updated yet (assuming App Store shenanigans)? Highlighting works for me in the Raindrop app but not showing up in the context menu.

Amazing work! Thanks!
One issue I'm having is what I highlight in the webpage doesn't appear in Raindrop website and vice-versa.

This is awesome! Now I can finally ditch the Diigo extension!
Small bugs:
1) While playing around with it, on this site I highlighted text in one area but the highlight showed up on matching text elsewhere on the page.
For example, when I highlight "Non-Protein", the text Non-Protein is highlighted elsewhere on the page.
2) I found that the highlighting kind of flickers sometimesdisappears. Sometimes it shows up right away, sometimes it dissapears until I refresh the page.
3) Sometimes the highlight won't delete when I try to delete it.
4) This is probably due to how various websites are structured, but sometimes the highlight icon appears far away from the text you actually selected.
Minor suggestions:
1) It would be nice if bookmarks created by highlights went into a highlights folder rather than Unsorted (or even better would be having the option to specify the default highlight directory).
2) Under show in list, it would be nice if we could enable/disable highlights and/or specify the number of highlights to show.
3) It would be nice if there was button to clear all highlights from a bookmark.
4) It would be useful if there was an option to show/hide highlights on a webpage. E.g. maybe you want to reread the article with fresh eyes.
