- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13433786, 4 years agoWanted context-menu definition, but instead it pops up on EVERY double-click, which is annoying.

posted 2 years agoYou can have trigger key setup, so that just clicking double click won't show popup and you can have shift etc key along with it to show the popup, it is present in extension options. Will add context menu definitions - Rated 5 out of 5by Mistermind, 4 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Legion, 4 years ago"my language"... for English it's English (US) only. Not good enough.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14218736, 4 years agoI really wish they added a popup where I can manually enter a word and check the definition. I had to go to google to check the definition

- Rated 5 out of 5by S.Akash, 4 years agoWould prefer if the search engine is Ecosia instead (or an option for that). Also, what is the source of these definitions?

- Rated 3 out of 5by Petr, 4 years agoDoesn't respect language choice. Even though I set language in English, it still shows me defintions in German, when I click on German words.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14618453, 4 years agoSuch a great and simple plugin! No more opening new tabs to search for the words I don't know, when I can just double-click on it to define it. And a "feature" I really love - if there's a word that I don't understand in the defiiniton, I can just double-click to define it, too, in another popup, without losing the original one.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Sans Undertale, 4 years agoFor what it is, it works well. That being said, I decided to uninstall it for a few reasons...
1. Apparently, all the definitions are taken from a Google search. Granted the definitions themselves are fine, but it would be nice to have a larger pool of sources to choose from like Merriam-Webster or DuckDuckGo. Defaulting to Google works I suppose, but I don't think a Dictionary extension needs Google.
2. On that note, I can basically recreate the functionality of this extension using Swift Search Selection by adding a source like Miriam-Webster as a search engine, to say nothing of adding it as a search engine to the Firefox Browser itself.
Still gets the four stars because it is a good extension, but I decided since I already use SSS a lot anyway that I'll just keep using that and leave this on the shelf. Thanks for the good times. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16544794, 4 years ago
