Know what this changes

The highlight control affects remembered-word marks. It does not have to disable deliberate selection translation, so you can still ask for a translation when you need one.

Stickly browsing settings with separate controls for translation, highlights, and practice.
The browsing controls keep selection translation and highlights separate.

Quiet the current page

Open a bubble from a highlighted word or a fresh translation, then choose the stop-highlighting action. The current page becomes quieter without changing every site.

Change the normal preference

Open Settings → Browsing to change remembered-word highlights for your normal browsing experience. The preference persists after refresh.
