Review by eUROs

Wow! very helpful Addon! and gives a lot of information. I just selected/highlighted a word and I clicked on the extension button/icon on the top toolbar, and a popup window showed up explaining the word i chosen.
Also your website is very well designed and very helpful! 👍
* One suggestion: it would be perfect if when we Right-click our mouse on the selected word, the "context menu" will show up, and we click the icon from there as well.

    This is just what I was looking for, this extension is amazing. All aside, I think that it can be improved further by two things, first the loading time until the result shows up is a little bit long, second, I would love the results to stay up when I switch to other tabs.

    Highlight a word and click the extension icon and voila: synonyms.
    (Suggestion/wish: It would be easier to use with a right click context menu option.)

    Thanks for the great feedback! We'll certainly consider adding a right-click context menu option in future versions...

    After enabling 'Auto check text' for a domain, I see no way to revert to manual.

    After disabling for a domain, I see no way to re-enable.

    Does not work with the editable field when writing a comment at GitHub.

    Workaround:

    1. switch from write mode to preview mode
    2. re-select the previously selected text
    3. reuse the extension
    4. revert to write mode.

    Tested with Waterfox 56.2.0.31 on FreeBSD-CURRENT.

    Enhancement request:

    - please make the extension work with the context menu for selected text.

    (It's rarely good to _require_ use of the toolbar, or overflow menu.)

    Thanks
