    I followed steps 1 and 2 okay.  However, for step 3, when I search for Enable Text Highlights for PDF, it showed "No matching experiments".  How now?

    I agree AusraKu.  I am not clear on how the current Edge is considered an improvement on the previous version, in which I was able to use the stylus to write ("draw") on PDFs as well as highlight.  Now, if the drawing function is enabled, I cannot use my finger to scroll; it automatically writes/draws.  Moreover, there is no highlighter option.

    The edge://flags experiments do not include the "Text Highlights" as suggested in the response to the original commenter.  I am very disappointed.
