- Rated 5 out of 5by Sandy, a month agoWorks perfectly! It helped me find my way around Bilibili. And I feel I'm learning a lot while reading -- some characters already look familiar.
- Rated 4 out of 5by 咕嚕, a month agoVery good, I hope the addon will support Cantonese tone numbers rather than accents.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17752811, 2 years agoExtremely useful add-on. Does a great job of telling me what the characters mean and how they are pronounced. Groups characters together where appropriate to give extended meanings. Great work!
- Rated 5 out of 5by jayjayel, 2 years agoI've been using this addon for a long time but never got around to writing a review or thanking the developer. It's very useful, especially for someone that has a hard time reading, but can understand via listening. Thanks for this addon! It's very easy to use and I love it!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Igor, 4 years agoBasically 5-stars, but there is a mistake in Bopomofo (Zhuyin). Characters with pinyin 'mo' get transcribed as 'muo' in Bopomofo.
E.g., the dictionary entry for 沒落 is: ㄇㄛˋ ㄌㄨㄛˋ (http://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw/cgi-bin/cbdic/gsweb.cgi?ccd=3qL0lR&o=e0&sec=sec1&op=v&view=0-1), but in Perapera it's ㄇㄨㄛˋ ㄌㄨㄛˋ
Please check this out. Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by DigiDigi, 4 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Henry, 7 years agoOn Firefox quantum. Don't know the reason why but it's a bit laggy. Sometimes it will take a few seconds and moving the mouse back and forth before it will pick up a word.

posted 7 years agoIt might be related to your Firefox settings or it might conflict with other addons. Try turning off some other addons and see if it works after that. If not, open an issue here with a full description of your problem: https://github.com/JorisKok/chinese-firefox-quantum/issues- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12895563, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13685145, 7 years agoWorks great, I'm really happy to see this extension working again on Firefox, thank you for your time and effort, Jonis!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13674964, 7 years agoPretty good, but could use a (custom-assigned) keyboard shortcut to turn it on and off
Developer response
posted 7 years agoI've added this feature. Hope you like it. It works by pressing the keys in order. Hope it is sufficient. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13663373, 7 years agoVery helpful popups that many times are better than a paper dictionary (and a whole lot faster! :) )
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13616605, 7 years agoThis add-on is quite handy for language learners trying to navigate the Internet in Chinese. I appreciate that there are options for both traditional and simplified characters, as well as different ways of rendering Mandarin pinyin. And it just got handier; I'm excited to see that support for Cantonese has been added in version 2.1!
After a quick check, it appears that the Canto translations are accurate, but the romanization is a bit weird... or it's a system I'm not familiar with. Yale and Jyutping are the two most popular systems; my preference is for Yale. Perhaps using CC-Canto and CC-CEDICT with Cantonese readings would help: http://cantonese.org/download.html
I look forward to seeing how this add-on progresses! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12379062, 7 years agoThis appreciated carry-over works quite well, just like its much-missed predecessor.
Any hope of the Japanese version also being revived?

posted 7 years agoThanks for the reply. I didn't know their FF Japanese version wasn't working with Quantum. When I have time I will try to get a version up, but it seems like it will take a bit more time. Cheers
RE: Gonna take a bit more time to fix I think, as the holidays are coming up. Will keep you posted.
