Great plugin. Thanks for creating this. This is the only plugin I've seen that actually makes the block editor less painful to use. No more guessing where blocks start and end, or struggling with trying to select blocks or their containers. This is how the Block Editor UI should've been all along. 👍👍

Installed, works. It's that simple. And you get an excellent overview over the blocks you use on your page. Using Gutenberg would definetly be less fun without this plugin.

Thanks for this Plugin! I miss this definitely in core. As good Gutenberg and the idea of it is, navigation beetween blocks is one of the really bad parts in Gutenberg at the moment.

Installed and tested works like a charm. This is exactly what I've been looking for, I'm constantly losing track of what block is what, having a way to highlight blocks is a game changer. Honestly this needs to be part of the core for Block Editor, if you're into Gutenberg, and build sites with it, this is a must. Trust me when I say, this will save you so much time!!!

The title which of course is a (sort of accurate) quote from the Godfather III movie fits perfectly in this case. I was relying on the "EditorsKit" plugin to display the borders, then I found the "Editor Blocks Border" plugin which was better, and I thought I don't have to worry about that issue anymore, only to find this plugin which is the best one of it's kind so far. It does one thing, and it does it better than anything ! Nicely done, and the most amazing thing is that the zip file is only 3.31kb - (not a typo) !!! I'm out again...
