SpecificationNone Summary The CSS property -webkit-highlight is intended to highlight text, but was never standardized. It has no visible effect in chromium (it is parsed but never used in rendering content). The property was removed from WebKit in 2014 (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128456), has been marked as deprecated on MDN, and has been replaced recently with the CSS Highlight Pseudo spec (https://www.w3.org/TR/css-pseudo-4/#highlight-pseudos). The property seems to be used in a single third-party library ( https://www.audioeye.com/) where it is always set to the value "none".

Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
