Research direction
Reproduce the issue at the linked Fedora Discussion URL in Chromium 128 by entering Vimium's find mode with "/" and searching for "all"; compare the result with Ctrl+F. Start from the Enter find mode implementation and trace why a found match is not highlighted. Done means matching text is highlighted consistently with Ctrl+F.
