Well, not really the own fork of the inspector - inspector uses native code for the highlight, while I am suggesting that you use CSS for your extension highlight. In either case, we don't expose DOM handles in the extensions API, so you would not be able to highlight the node you select.

My point was that your icon should look a bit differently and co-exist with the default one. That way user would expect behavior to be different as well.
