    Extremely inefficient method of highlighting.

    Is there a way to erase a highlight?

    just right-click the highlighted text, don't need to drag and select the highlighted text, click on highlight and select "none" in colour list.

    There is no option for "none" in the colour list for me.

    As a Surface Pro user, I'd like to use my stylus to highlight, and like to request a stylus enabled way to highlight text feature like the old Edge browser. 

    Even simply allowing my stylus to highlight text, like I could with a mouse / touchpad, as currently the stylus does not allow you to select text
