Description

Highlights visually distinguish specific ranges within a document, such as comments, search results, or spelling errors. As web features become more complex, developers face challenges in efficiently managing overlapping highlights, handling highlights within shadow DOM while maintaining encapsulation, and ensuring optimal performance.

The highlightsFromPoint API is designed to address these challenges, providing developers with better methods to manage highlighted content effectively.
