This appreciated carry-over works quite well, just like its much-missed predecessor.
Any hope of the Japanese version also being revived?

Thanks 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.

    Works perfectly! It helped me find my way around Bilibili. And I feel I'm learning a lot while reading -- some characters already look familiar.

    Very good, I hope the addon will support Cantonese tone numbers rather than accents.

    Extremely 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!

    I'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!

    Basically 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!

    On 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.

    It 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

    Works great, I'm really happy to see this extension working again on Firefox, thank you for your time and effort, Jonis!

    Pretty good, but could use a (custom-assigned) keyboard shortcut to turn it on and off

    I've added this feature. Hope you like it. It works by pressing the keys in order. Hope it is sufficient.

    Very helpful popups that many times are better than a paper dictionary (and a whole lot faster! :) )

    This 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!
