by Compujet1, 7 years agoI think could be the best add on with a few tweaks. It very simplistic which is a great thing . there's been some go I d suggestions and mine are things that would make more functional and not take away from the simplistic flow.
The 1 time I want to be a lefty ;) . I'm right and mostly on a tablet or phone so when I highlight I r double click the yellow popup is under my hand. It sounds minor but enough of an inconvenience that I will need to continue my search if a future update is not added for an option for choosing the popup side.
Doesn't need to be fixed as it's not broke but I don't like the delay and inconvenience. I wish Samsung would make a feature when you hover the Pen over a word the definition would pop up as they have pictures and hyperlinks. I think developer has done great job and would love to continue using but the amount I utilize now since getting larger phone I am only the option of some costly clunky app that's way overkill for just what's done here solely with a tiny addon.
If wanting to elaborate on addon as maybe a Pro version, I would say the Ability for us to choose or enter the site used to lookup, Choice from a few colors or a pallete of popup box, Addition of a speaker icon by word to hear it sounded out.
Now the last may be too much to ask for but that's basically what I or know others utilize. Not all these games,words of the day,share the word with everyone and just so much distracting and phone memory using features.
While browsing all needed is - reading,what's that word, click, what's the meaning, how's it sound, continue reading. Perfect App!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Dexms4, 2 years 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, 4 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.
