- 评分 4 / 5来自 Sans Undertale,3 年前For 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. - 评分 4 / 5来自 brd2184,3 年前Problem 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.开发者回应
发布于 3 年前Are 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. - 评分 4 / 5来自 le bonzec,4 年前

- 评分 4 / 5来自 Kai,4 年前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.开发者回应
发布于 4 年前I 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. - 评分 4 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 14726506,4 年前
- 评分 4 / 5来自 Averi,4 年前It'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.

发布于 4 年前Sorry :( 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 - 评分 4 / 5来自 Ferdez,4 年前

- 评分 4 / 5来自 Inertia,4 年前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.

- 评分 4 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 14649157,5 年前I really like this little add-on. It is visually very sweet and looks as if it is part of the mac-os system. It works with no delay and dare I say, better than the Mac-OS dictionary right click itself.
My only suggestion is that perhaps make the definitions and word information a bit more expansive. Other than that it's wonderful.开发者回应
发布于 5 年前I will follow your suggestion and include other details also, do you mean like what google shows when we search for 'define word', right?? - 评分 4 / 5来自 Risto,6 年前ATTENTION il est IMPERATIF d'aller à "about:config" et de passer "dom.webcomponents.shadowdom.enabled" en TRUE.
Ensuite, c'est parfait : d'un double clic sur un mot on a une définition satisfaisante qui apparaît dans une bulle juste au-dessus. Très pratique et plutôt fiable, je l'ai testé sur la dictée de Pivot et même les mots compliqués passent. Juste quelques problèmes avec quelques participes passés.
Par contre, si on pouvait trouver en plus quelques liens pour ceux qui veulent aller plus loin dans leur recherche, ce serait un+.... et une 5ème étoile!!
Merci pour le taf!开发者回应
发布于 6 年前Merci pour l'examen, j'ai trouvé le bogue lors de la recherche d'un participe passé, je l'ai corrigé et j'ai également inclus le lien pour ceux qui recherchent plus de détails. Merci d’avoir utilisé cette extension, vous pouvez me contacter directement à srjjain1996@gmail.com pour demander de nouvelles fonctionnalités ou si vous rencontrez un problème ou si vous pouvez ouvrir un problème sur github https://github.com/meetDeveloper/Dictionary-Anywhere.
