Über diese Erweiterung

The Word Circle Dictionary provides a dictionary for web-pages. It integrates itself into each visited page by scanning the page's text and reworking it so that each word of the text is highlighted by a colored circle when the mouse pointer hovers over it. The highlighted word can then be clicked to reveal its definition in a window, called the definition box, that can be scrolled, moved, resized, and closed.

Known Issues

Disabling the dictionary for some web pages fails completely or partially.
It appears that the extension is breaking html table elements on some pages.
This problem coupled with the one above can create a frustrating experience.
A fix is coming.
This add-on currently uses a very old public domain dictionary. Therefore, some modern words, such as those unique to the internet, are not definable. An updated dictionary, or an additional modern dictionary is planned for the future.
