- i 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.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 5 anni faI 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. - Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 14726506, 5 anni fa

pubblicato il 5 anni faSorry :( Content scripts are not allowed on reader mode that is why extension does not work on reader mode. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1371786 - Valutata 5 su 5di Sean Tobeler, 5 anni fa

- Almost perfect. There's one thing that's missing. I would love to have a little Dictionary Anywhere icon on the Firefox toolbar. So that I can search words that pop up in my mind but not necessarily on the site I'm in. Please add this feature. I literally have to go to Google Chrome for my reading and researching because you don't have this feature yet.
- This works very nicely, thanks a lot! The only thing missing in my view is (as in the Chrome equivalent) an extra option to press a trigger key to "Display pop-up when I select a word or phrase". Basically, I want the double-click to immediately translate a word and "CTRL+highlight the text" to translate an entire phrase. Would that be possible?
