Sifter is a browser extension developed by sifternews for the Chrome platform. It falls under the category of Browsers and is categorized as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This free extension serves as a simple but effective text annotator, allowing users to save annotations from web pages.

With Sifter, users can highlight web pages and PDFs with different colors, making it easy to identify and organize important information. These highlighted paragraphs are then saved in a bookmark, enabling users to revisit and reference them later. Even when revisiting the page, Sifter automatically highlights the saved paragraph, ensuring quick access to the annotated content.

One of the key features of Sifter is its search explorer, which allows users to navigate to the saved paragraphs with ease. By conducting a search, users can locate specific annotations and quickly jump to the relevant section of the webpage. Additionally, Sifter offers the option to export highlighted paragraphs through email, providing a convenient way to share or backup annotated content.

Sifter is built on top of the YAWAS extension, incorporating its functionality while adding the ability to save and organize annotations. This combination of features makes Sifter a valuable tool for users who need to annotate and reference web content efficiently.
