I just noticed that react devtool were updated. I'm missing the "Highlight Updates" function.
How can I activate it?

Please come back with hightlight updates, I understand that the profiler can help us a lot, but the visual presentation is much easier and faster for a debugger

Found this on twitter, the omission of Highlight Updates was deliberate.

Reading the thread, it seems they are re-evaluating how to signal performance problems caused by re-renders. Till then, they are encouraging you to use the profiler.

This issue has already been reported in the main React repo:
https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/16437

This repository is for the legacy DevTools extension (v3) and is in the process of being shut down.

Thank you!
