- Rated 3 out of 5by Legion, 5 years ago"my language"... for English it's English (US) only. Not good enough.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14218736, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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 4 out of 5by brd2184, 5 years agoProblem with all words searched giving "Sorry, no definition found." resolved idiopathically. I am running Linux with a VPN, though.

 Handy for words that you kind of know, but kind of know there's more to the definition.
 Would be neat if you could toggle what the More>> link does. Thinking along the lines of a thesaurus library that could be accessed without opening a new search for "define xyz".
 Though, the primary utility of the app seems to be in obtaining definitions with minimal interruption and task switching, so maybe less is more.Developer responseposted 5 years agoAre you connecting to some VPN?
 Can you give me words for which it is returning this error, 'No definition found'?
 Also can you if possible provide your geolocation, I mean country, I want to confirm if it is not working because google give different result for other country.
 Sorry for inconvenience. I want to look into problem and fix it asap, I fixed some problem in v1.0.8 and then it started working for me and few others, I think there is another problem.

 So I wanted to give as little as possible which is meaningful as I don't want to clutter person view, it is minimalist approach. I am working towards fixing little bugs present in extension and will after then focus on features after considerable thoughts regarding the features as I have designed this extension to be minimalist.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Black🏴☠️Sails, 5 years agothe popup is often overlapped by other popups. It doesn't have priority.
 RE: Will fix this in next version, work is going on in this.
 edit: I removed this add-on yesterday, because I noticed It never once turned out to be useful, even tho the popup always showed up and was annoying, and I always ignored it. I think it would be best to add an option for the popup to only show when you hold Alt or CTRL and double click.. Thanks.
 RE: That option is already present, you can find it in extension options. :(. Can you try that and let me know?
 edit2: I missed that option. Yeah it works! awesome!Developer responseposted 5 years agoI have fixed popup overlapped issue, it won't be overlapped by other content. Thank you for your patience. :)
