Alt + s keeps it turned off

Make it stay off when I alt + s. I only need it when I'm working on certain assignments, I don't need it 24/7, yet alt s only turns it off for the website that I use the command off. It would be better as a universal toggle, so I had it when I'm doing something specific. The only way I can achieve this is by completely turning off the extension, which makes it hard to turn back on, and makes it more probable that I'll forget it exists.

When skimming through an article, I sometimes like to highlight text to help me stay focused on what I am reading. However, what happens is that usually, the Weava popup blocks the text I want to read and I have to use the keyboard shortcut to turn it off.

It would be useful if there was a setting to have it OFF by default when loading a website, and instead, clicking the extension or using the keyboard shortcut to bring up the highlighter.

i guess what he might mean is that if deactivate the plugin, then I close my laptop and re-open it - the plugin is activated back

Hi Zach,
Can we clarify what exactly do you mean when you said that disabling does not persist? Did you mean that when you disable your Weava highlighter and re-open it again, the highlights are enabled?

I think what he's saying is that when he disables the highlighter (not the extension), Weava only gets turned off for that specific website.
This is also bothering me because when I read something I usually use my mouse to highlight the words I'm reading. The Weava highlight prompt then pops up and blocks what I'm trying to read.
Because most people won't be highlighting every websites they go, I think a better design is to make the default state of the highlighter off, and when people want to highlight stuff they can use alt + s.
