This\n  can be caused by various factors, such as issues with the website's security protocols or the user's browser settings.\n  If users encounter this issue, they can try signing in to the extension on a different website or by using the web app\n  on web-highlights.com.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"q-why-is-the-web-highlights-chrome-extension-not-working-on-my-laptop\">\n  Q: Why is the Web Highlights Chrome Extension not working on my laptop?\n\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>\n  Sometimes, the Web Highlights Chrome Extension may not work when AdBlocker Chrome extensions are installed.
