This is a small bookmarklet that adds a background color to articles matching keywords, making it easier to distinguish links important to you. Tested in Chrome 27, Firefox 21 and Safari 6.0.5.

1. Modify the OPTIONS.color and OPTIONS.keywords properties to your liking. You may use regex in the keywords. Keywords are case-insensitive.

2. Paste the bookmarklet below as the URL to a bookmark. You have to click this bookmark on every refresh, therefore you may want to place it on your "Bookmarks Bar" for quick access.

javascript:(function(){var OPTIONS={keywords:["surveillance","nsa","prism","privacy","government"],color:"#f4c3c3"};NodeList.prototype.forEach=Array.prototype.forEach;document.querySelectorAll('.title>a').forEach(function(e){if(e.firstChild.nodeValue=='More')return;if(new RegExp(OPTIONS.keywords.join('|'), 'i').test(e.firstChild.nodeValue)){e.parentNode.parentNode.style.backgroundColor=OPTIONS.color;e.parentNode.parentNode.nextSibling.style.backgroundColor=OPTIONS.color}})})()
