Highlight and Share – Unobtrusive and Lightweight Content Sharing vs Super Web Share – Native Social Sharing Button

Highlight and Share is a lightweight and unobtrusive social network WordPress plugin designed to help readers share meaningful parts of your content. Instead of placing large social sharing buttons throughout your website, Highlight and Share appears only when users interact with your content. This keeps pages clean while still encouraging natural social sharing. Visitors can highlight text, share images, copy quotes, or link directly to headlines. Sharing options appear exactly when they are needed, allowing readers to share interesting passages, statistics, or insights without interrupting the reading experience. Highlight and Share works great for content sharing, social highlights, image sharing, headline sharing, and for those wanting a comprehensive Click to Share block/shortcode with inline highlighting supported. The plugin is built with flexibility and performance in mind. Most features are optional and can be enabled or disabled depending on your needs. This makes Highlight and Share a great solution for blogs, news sites, documentation sites, and long-form content where readers may want to reference specific sections or quickly copy and share passages. Show social media networks upon text selection (a text highlighter). This provides an unobtrusive way to allow content highlighting without getting in a user’s way. With shortcuts like Copy and Email, Highlight and Share can become part of an essential timesaving workflow for a user who needs quick shortcuts to common items like Web Share and other content highlighter shortcuts. Show Pinterest and Webshare on images. With image sharing enabled, Highlight and Share will seamlessly integrate Pinterest and Webshare on any found images. With features like skipping the leading image, you’ll find that Image Sharing is intuitive and useful for your users. Show sharing options with headline sharing. Headline sharing allows users to bookmark certain headlines and revisit them later. Additional networks like Webshare or X can provide additional context such as sharing the headline itself. A Click to Share Block/Shortcode is included. An easy-to-use Click to Share block is included, with setup available in seconds. The Content Sharing networks display above the share box when clicked, providing an easy way to share the quote. Set up email sharing with easy spam protection integration.

Super Web Share is a WordPress-based native share plugin that prompts the native share action and helps users easily share a page or post with others. We developed from the ground up with simplicity and performance in mind to increase your shares. As SuperWebShare only shows the apps installed within the device upon the share prompt, the rate of sharing of posts/pages will be higher than showing all the social share icons on a page. Due to this key reason, website developers can skip the usage of other social media icons on their website and make the share more prominent. The Super Web Share plugin for WordPress helps increase your traffic and engagement with a single quick click to share the website with your friends and social media. Super Web Share works on all supported browsers like Chrome for Android, Edge for Android, Brave for Android, and Opera for Android. It will show the native apps installed on the device once you share the article with others; due to that, users can easily share the page/post with others super easily in just a click. Upon the native share, which prompts up like a native iOS or Android share sheet, users can easily copy the website page link if they want that option. It takes less than a minute to set up Super Web Share, and we provide a clean uninstall by removing the entire data entry it creates. We also won’t save any settings to your database until you manually save the settings. We also provide a fallback native popup if the Native Web Share is not supported within the browser. Currently, the Super Web Share plugin provides a social share button before and after the post/page content and a floating share button where you can set the color, the text of the share buttons, and the position of the floating button; it can also set the pages or posts which you would like to show the share buttons via our Settings page, to easily add the share feature to your websites. As a plugin that focuses on simplicity, we are fully compatible with the AMP plugin, which means you can add the native share to your AMP pages provided by the AMP plugin. Social Platforms supported 1) On Web Sharing API supported devices: You will notice the social share prompt (also called as sharesheet) where you can share the page via all applications installed on your device that accept the sharing (mobile – Android and iOS devices, tab, desktop – for Microsoft Edge browser). This means all the social sharing platforms on your website visitor’s devices can be selected from the list to share the page in a simple click! 2) If the device or browser won’t support the native share: If the website is viewed from a browser or device that won’t support native sharing, our fallback modal works. Within the fallback modal, you can select the social platforms you want to show for your website via our settings page (SuperWebShare > Fallback). The social share platforms that are interested to show on the WordPress website can be selected. Right now, we are providing social media like Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, Mastodon, Telegram, Pinterest, and Email. We’re expanding with more social platforms.
