Review by KorvinSilver
Rated 2 out of 5
by KorvinSilver, 4 years agoMostly works but there are problems with it that make it just barely okay. First, double clicking a word in an edit field brings up the definition. That shouldn't happen or there should be an option to disable it. If I double click a word in a text area, I don't want its definition, I want to do something with it, maybe style it or replace it with something else, but this extension often makes that difficult. Then the popup. It's sometimes slow but worse is that if the text I double click is on the right side of the screen, the popup bubble doesn't change direction and it partially appears outside the screen.

posted 4 years agoYou can have trigger key setup, so that just clicking double click won't show popup and you can have shift etc key along with it to show the popup, it is present in extension options. I will look into how I can have option that disable popup in text area.

- Rated 1 out of 5by drgut101, 9 days agoInstalled extension. Doesn't do anything on 1/2 of the pages.
On the other 1/2 of the pages it just pops up and says, "Sorry, no definition found."
It's basically garbage. It doesn't work. - Rated 1 out of 5by GodDamnMint, 9 days agoI can't remember the last time it gave me a definition. At first I thought "oh these are just really unique words." then I thought maybe they were misspelled, but I've finally realized this extension just doesn't work. it used to, but now it is nothing more than a waste of RAM.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Manoj, 12 days agoMost of the time it says "Sorry, not available". And it's impossible to discard after double tapping on a word in a text field. Sometimes, too many dictionary pop-ups appear for many words and impossible to get rid of them. There's no close button.
Super annoying and unhelpful - Rated 1 out of 5by 划过天边海角, 14 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by dwerks01, 14 days agoUsed to work great, now, you click a word and it pops up with a notice that says "sorry, no definition found" Moving on to another plugin.
- Rated 1 out of 5by hortond00, 14 days agoI used this for so long I forgot it was an extension. But as plenty of others have said, it no longer works.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18830984, 15 days agoUsed to work perfectly, now is completely nonfunctional. Really a shame, I used to enjoy getting definitions for words without having to Google them but every single word comes back with no definition found.
- Rated 1 out of 5by bobert, 15 days agoWorst dictionary extension i've ever used, half the time when highlighting a word it doesn't even work. Google dictionary is better.
- Rated 1 out of 5by austinrick, 15 days agoI enjoyed it while it lasted. Stopped working recently and I have finally removed it from my extensions.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Abyss, 15 days agoNo Definition Found, and this is the case for every word out there, Sadly now this is useless.
