About this extension
⚠️ This add-on is not affiliated with Harper Family LLC and its associated services. Please review Etymonline's Terms of Service & Privacy Policy before using it.

🔗 Inspired by addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cambridge-dictionary
⚙️ Source code is github.com/nhantrichuyenanh/Etymonline

📝 A no-frills add-on to look up word etymologies on Etymonline.
🎯 I created this add-on because there used to be no Etymonline related ones on AMO.
Developer comments
I highly recommend using uBlock Origin's element picker to manually remove advertisements in Etymonline. Since it is constantly updating ad containers, I can't possibly update the add-on every time ad_remover.js doesn't work.
