- Rated 5 out of 5by VPN User, 4 years agoWorks really well, but I have a few questions: Is this considered as free and open-sourced, and does it respect my privacy, in essence, does it record and view each website I visit for tracking?

posted 4 years agoThis extension does not record anything, it only store in your computer history of words that you searched for which you can download/delete from extension options page. Thank you :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Rufous Potoo, 4 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by cocobubbles, 4 years agoContinuously get the "no definition found", tried turning off all my other extensions but that wasn't it, seems to be a problem wit the extension itself? Reinstalling did not work.

- Rated 2 out of 5by KorvinSilver, 4 years agoMostly works but there are problems with it that make it just barely okay. First, double clicking a word in an edit field brings up the definition. That shouldn't happen or there should be an option to disable it. If I double click a word in a text area, I don't want its definition, I want to do something with it, maybe style it or replace it with something else, but this extension often makes that difficult. Then the popup. It's sometimes slow but worse is that if the text I double click is on the right side of the screen, the popup bubble doesn't change direction and it partially appears outside the screen.

posted 4 years agoYou can have trigger key setup, so that just clicking double click won't show popup and you can have shift etc key along with it to show the popup, it is present in extension options. I will look into how I can have option that disable popup in text area. - Rated 5 out of 5by Siim, 4 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15145534, 4 years agoI would like to be able to set the engine to duckduckgo (&/or others) instead of google
- Rated 1 out of 5by Istvan Kovacs, 4 years agoMy language is set to (US) English. I click a few words on a French page.
'propres' brings up a French definition, not an English translation 'propre: Qui appartient d'une manière exclusive ou particulière à une personne, une chose.'
Double-clicking 'permet' displays 'permit: Give authorization or consent to (someone) to do something.'
'invitent' gives 'No definition found'
'nombre' results in a Spanish definition, 'nombre:
Palabra o conjunto de palabras con las que se designan y se distinguen los seres vivos y los objetos físicos o abstractos.' - Rated 5 out of 5by IQman, 4 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13433786, 4 years agoWanted context-menu definition, but instead it pops up on EVERY double-click, which is annoying.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Legion, 4 years ago"my language"... for English it's English (US) only. Not good enough.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14218736, 4 years agoI 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

- Rated 5 out of 5by S.Akash, 4 years agoWould prefer if the search engine is Ecosia instead (or an option for that). Also, what is the source of these definitions?
