Contextual Wiktionary was designed to ask for the bare minimum.
Three Ways to Search
- A beautiful and lightweight popup menu allows you to search for what you need to know with minimal distractions.
- Select a word and right-click to easily define words you encounter.
- Set up a keyboard shortcut and you'll be shaving off the accumulative seconds between you and learning a new word.
Why an add-on?
- Seamlessly tangent through definitions with embedded links and a magical search that points you directly to definitions.
- A self-contained design avoids build-up of tabs, and an external link button lets you view the Wiktionary page.
- Themed for both light and dark modes; Wiktionary's website may blind you at night, but this add-on won't.
Why Wiktionary?
- Use and contribute to the world's largest open dictionary.
- View English definitions for non-English words.
- Minimal support for non-English Wiktionaries (due to API limitations).
