wot Kai, 5 år sideni like the simplicity of the graphics, the in-page pop-up, the short defintions and the google-generated content is better than competitors (mirriam webster, for example), HOWEVER, after a few hours of using, it started giving me "sorry, no definition found" for whatever i click on. this has not resolved even after uninstalling and reinstalling the add on, so very sad about this as it is otherwise exactly what i'm looking for.
if the developers see this i can't tell you what triggered the add in to stop working. i made sure dom.webcomponents.shadowdom.enabled was enabled (when it stopped working). I do read a lot of stuff on pocket and reader view so maybe it started after some interaction there? maybe there's a clue in the fact that functionality was not restored even after deleting and reinstalling?
EDIT (after response from developer): YES, you were right about it being a VPN issue. As soon as i switch it off the add-on starts to work again. I have changed my rating to 4/5. i tend to have my vpn on most of the time so using this add on will not be particularly useful to me after all, however, i am aware this will only affect a minority of users.

Wotmołwa wuwiwarja
je so 5 år siden napisałI am really sorry you had bad experience with the extension. I would need some logs to exactly find the problem. Were you using any VPN? There might be case that due to excessive usage of addon, google returned captcha and that is why extension was not able to parse word meaning. Whenever you see this issue again, could you try to find meaning of very simple word that surely has meaning and if that returned no definition found, check that you can search on google, I feel this is due to captcha or vpn, somehow google stopped returning results.

- Z 3 z 5 pohódnoćenywot RT, én måned sidenWhen it's working, it's great. But it keeps breaking - saying sorry no definition found for every single word. It did that a while ago so I turned it off and found a different add-on, but I didn't like it as much and I forgot why I'd stopped using this one so I turned it back on and it worked for about a day. Then it stopped working again. I see an update note saying this problem was fixed, but it has not been fixed.
- Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Wužiwar Firefox 18882793, 2 måneder sidenthis extension is very good for me. I'm a student and have to research a lot of document and this extension really save a lot of time for me.
- Z 3 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Marc Lyons, 2 måneder sidenYears ago, either this one or one similar worked so well to define any word I clicked or double-clicked.... it worked so well then and it was dependable. Was 5* dependable from what I remember.
This week, I found it strange that I was unable to see many options for a similar browser add-on and a couple days ago went ahead and grabbed this one. I've probably used it before and don't recall why it wasn't (until a couple days ago) in my extensions list.
Anyway, quick to the point, it worked for about 24 hours and now doesn't show any definitions in popup at all. I'd love for it to be consistent and to be dependable but currently not even the simplest words are defined.
I get the popup window but it shows, "Sorry
No definition found."
Hope in time there's a fix because it's an important tool for me and if I could count on it, I'd gladly buy those cups of coffee.
Best of luck and thank you for your work. Looking forward to using the Dictionary Anywhere extension again but for now I'll have to disable and search for something else. - Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Lawrence, 2 måneder siden

- Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot drdakota, 3 måneder sidenI have read that in the last months the extension has not worked for a few people and that's what tanked the star rating. Still, being on the search for this type of tool I tried it myself (on Google and Reddit) and was actually surprised it does work.
At the moment of review I have just downloaded it a couple minutes ago so won't know for sure about bugs or other stuff (I'd update the review), but I'm sure the developers can benefit from some positivity since the ext actually does work. Thanks for the hard work! - Z 2 z 5 pohódnoćenywot TheAlphaBoy77, 3 måneder sidenIt worked okay when it did work, except for its simplified definitions, but sadly it has started to say, 'Sorry. No Definition Found' for every single word I try it on, even for words such as 'following,' 'internet,' and 'law.'
- Z 2 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Wužiwar Firefox 14305712, 3 måneder sidenWhen it works it's fine. Unfortunately, it is not very comprehensive: it doesn't work a lot of the time for scientific words. Also I understand it is meant to be nonintrusive but sometimes the definition given is too simple to where I end up searching the word anyway.

- Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Wužiwar Firefox 12363114, 5 måneder sidenNo record of the installation. Double Click on word opened a window. I never go a single definition to show. All say "No Definition"
Would have been a useful addin but its missing a couple of functional elements, one of which is definitions or any clue as to where it's searching. - Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Hollytryx, 5 måneder siden
