Review by Sans Undertale
Rated 4 out of 5
by Sans Undertale, 4 years agoFor 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.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17598748, 3 months agoIt stopped working for a while, and wouldn't be able to define the most common words (or could define them once and then stop working after). Fixed itself when I reinstalled the extension. Great add-on otherwise.

- Rated 4 out of 5by GamOurs, 5 months agoTrès bonne extension, assez rapide en plus.
Deux petits bémols : on ne peut pas prendre plusieurs mots à la fois, ce qui empêche d'obtenir la définition d'expressions par exemple, et il y a un léger problème de compatibilité pour les mots ressemblant trop à l'anglais.
Pour pallier à ce second problème, il serait judicieux de mettre le mot tout seul dans la recherche, sans "define" devant. (Pour ceux qui ne savent pas, l'extension lance une recherche Google au moment du double-click, "define [mot sélectionné]".) - Rated 4 out of 5by Rodrigo, 5 months agoit doesn't have a large dictionary, and that's the only complain.
