მიმომხილველი Kai, 5 წლის წინi 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.

თარიღი 5 წლის წინI 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.

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.

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. - 1 შეფასება 5-დანმიმომხილველი Firefox-ის მომხმარებელი 19038296, 2 თვის წინDoesn't seem to work "Anywhere"

- 2 შეფასება 5-დანმიმომხილველი RiffRaffMama, 5 თვის წინIt's good sometimes, but more often than not it can't find a definition, which doesn't make it a particularly comprehensive dictionary. And if a word is a plural or any kind of variation, it can't find it either, just the simple form of the word, and there's no way to get a definition by highlighting a word without the 's' or whatever on the end, because you have to double click, which naturally highlights the entire word.
There's just too many words it can't find. - 1 შეფასება 5-დანმიმომხილველი InnocuousOctopus, 5 თვის წინNo longer functional. If this is fixed I will be revising my review to give the extention the 5 stars it deserves when it is functional.
For those struggling to find a replacement as I was:
