Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 13525754, 6 years agoThis could be a really great addon. I've only just started using it, but if I'm to continue using it, there NEEDS to be an option to disable plural definitions for words. It does not help me in the slightest to only see "Plural form of X" when clicking on a word. If I didn't know the plural version, then I definitely don't know the singular version.
5 stars otherwise.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Dexms4, a year agoRarely works for non-root word forms, and definitions are often pointless.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14108734, 3 years agoOk, I can't stand this app anymore. Really? You can't find the definition for the word "rhetoric"? This thing cant find anything. I dont know what database it is using, but its missing basic words. Time to look for a new plugin.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16664541, 3 years agocould be really good. I liked how simple it was, and the UI was clean when it displayed the definition.
however, probably more than half of the words that I actually need to search a definition for, don't show any results on this extension! the majority of the time I end up having to google it, which shows a definition fine. if there was just a wider range of words in this extension, it would be good. until then, I'm going to have to uninstall. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14083957, 4 years agoThis would have been an easy 5-stars if we could only add a key to activate the search function. I mean, we all double-click stuff all the time, but how many times have you meant to check the definition of the text rather than just copy it or something?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ari, 4 years agoAfter using this extension for more than a year I moved on from it cuz of how it looked in dark mode. But came back to it just after a month ( cuz this one hardly ever shows me "definition not found" ) and was really delighted to find the theming issue solved.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rain, 4 years agoLets you select what dictionary source it polls, which means it also works through a VPN whose dictionary requests get blocked by google. Extra bonus points for light/dark theme choice!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12455823, 5 years agoUsed to work most of the time. Now I need to google the definition 95% of the time.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15853039, 5 years agoComplete garbage, does not work on MacOS, selecting word does not show dictionary meaning and just says "search" even on simple words.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14734221, 5 years agoOkay extension, but I wish it had the option to only allow on or block on certain sites. It's pretty annoying when I select text on email or other sites and a definition pops up when I don't want it to. The extension also quit working altogether in Firefox.
