- Оценено на 4 из 5от spacemanspiff, 4 года назадGreat, simpledictionary (though would really love more languages added, like Arabic). Besides the language limitations, my only quibble is one that has been mentioned: popups shouldn't occur in edit fields. Double clicking on a word to retype it brings up the popup and obscures the text.

- Оценено на 4 из 5от inyourhead, 4 года назадIt used to be perfect, one day the dictionary stopped working and says no definition found.
- Оценено на 4 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 15145534, 4 года назадI would like to be able to set the engine to duckduckgo (&/or others) instead of google
- Оценено на 4 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 14218736, 4 года назадI really wish they added a popup where I can manually enter a word and check the definition. I had to go to google to check the definition

- Оценено на 4 из 5от Sans Undertale, 5 лет назадFor what it is, it works well. That being said, I decided to uninstall it for a few reasons...
1. Apparently, all the definitions are taken from a Google search. Granted the definitions themselves are fine, but it would be nice to have a larger pool of sources to choose from like Merriam-Webster or DuckDuckGo. Defaulting to Google works I suppose, but I don't think a Dictionary extension needs Google.
2. On that note, I can basically recreate the functionality of this extension using Swift Search Selection by adding a source like Miriam-Webster as a search engine, to say nothing of adding it as a search engine to the Firefox Browser itself.
Still gets the four stars because it is a good extension, but I decided since I already use SSS a lot anyway that I'll just keep using that and leave this on the shelf. Thanks for the good times. - Оценено на 4 из 5от brd2184, 5 лет назадProblem with all words searched giving "Sorry, no definition found." resolved idiopathically. I am running Linux with a VPN, though.

Handy for words that you kind of know, but kind of know there's more to the definition.
Would be neat if you could toggle what the More>> link does. Thinking along the lines of a thesaurus library that could be accessed without opening a new search for "define xyz".
Though, the primary utility of the app seems to be in obtaining definitions with minimal interruption and task switching, so maybe less is more.Ответ разработчика
размещено 5 лет назадAre you connecting to some VPN?
Can you give me words for which it is returning this error, 'No definition found'?
Also can you if possible provide your geolocation, I mean country, I want to confirm if it is not working because google give different result for other country.
Sorry for inconvenience. I want to look into problem and fix it asap, I fixed some problem in v1.0.8 and then it started working for me and few others, I think there is another problem.

So I wanted to give as little as possible which is meaningful as I don't want to clutter person view, it is minimalist approach. I am working towards fixing little bugs present in extension and will after then focus on features after considerable thoughts regarding the features as I have designed this extension to be minimalist. - Оценено на 4 из 5от bababush, 5 лет назадa simple add-on that does the job but is there any way to change the pronounciation to U.S. speaker?
Ответ разработчика
размещено 5 лет назадNo I will in future provide way to change the pronunciation to US speaker, working on this currently. - Оценено на 4 из 5от le bonzec, 5 лет назад

- Оценено на 4 из 5от Kai, 5 лет назадi 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.Ответ разработчика
размещено 5 лет назадI 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. - Оценено на 4 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 14726506, 5 лет назад
- Оценено на 4 из 5от Averi, 5 лет назадIt's fast, simple, and practical for sure. It lacks privacy due to its Google use although you could try to use wordnik as a source as duckduckgo uses it.
- Оценено на 4 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 13373763, 5 лет назадGreat addon! My only issue is that it doesn't work with Reader View. Would give 5 stars if it did. Cheers.
Ответ разработчика
размещено 5 лет назадSorry :( 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 - Оценено на 4 из 5от Ferdez, 5 лет назад

- Оценено на 4 из 5от Inertia, 5 лет назадAlmost 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.
