## Description

Double Click Dictionary is a handy Chrome extension that lets you instantly look up the meaning of any word by simply double-clicking it. When you select a word, a popup bubble appears with the definition, supporting multiple base languages such as English, French, German, and Spanish. The extension improves browsing by caching looked-up words for faster response times and reduced data usage. Additional features include modifier key support for double-click actions and the ability to export your dictionary lookups for reference.

Originally forked from the "Dictionary Anywhere" addon to enhance usability on Android devices, Double Click Dictionary adds several improvements to streamline your vocabulary research while browsing. Whether you're learning a new language or need quick word references, this extension offers a seamless and efficient user experience.
