2026-01-19 Mi***** Please, move it to the right click menu! Also, it lacks a lot of words - which is a shame as it is usually those I need to define.

2025-08-25 Jo***** I really wanted to like this extension, but I dislike having to use a toolbar button, which is clumsy, illogical and inconsistent with expected UX behavior. Add support for double-click and/or context menu and I'll reconsider my rating.

2025-03-20 Fi***** Works better than Dictionary anywhere (no longer works), but would be 1000x better if, like that plugin, you just double click a word and the definition pops up, not have to click the icon in the toolbar. otherwise, good!

2022-12-13 Br***** Major dictionaries said the word did not exist, but Definitions.net had it, along with an example, and how you pronounce it. Awesome!

2021-09-24 Fi***** I've just added this extension and I haven't much to go on yet. So far though, it has shown it's self to be quite handy.

2021-05-06 Fi***** It isn't much faster than right clicking, selecting "search google for..." and clicking the first online dictionary that pops up. I don't like extensions cluttering up my toolbar, so if I want to look up a definition I have to move the mouse across the screen and open the overflow menu before clicking the icon, which removes all the convenience of it. If the extension had a button in the context menu to open the popup it'd be perfect because you'd just need to double click, right click, and left click with very little space between each. While only a minor nitpick, the slightest (in)convenience goes a long way with an extension as simple as this
