User Reviews

Dictionary Anywhere started as a handy, quick-definitions tool that many users relied on, especially students. However, a large number of reviews report it no longer works reliably: repeated 'No definition found' errors, intermittent functionality, and ongoing abandonment by the developer. A few users still experienced it working and praised its ease of use when functional, but reliability appears to be the primary issue. Some users compare it unfavorably to alternatives. Overall, the plugin is appreciated for past performance and convenience, but current maintenance and consistent operation are major concerns.

Pros

Convenient and time-saving for quick word lookups.
When it works, it provides quick, useful definitions.
Easy to use and lightweight.
Historically dependable and helpful for studying.
Valuable for students and research tasks.

Cons

Frequent No definition found / 'No definition found' errors and overall unreliability.
Perceived abandonment and lack of ongoing maintenance by the developer.
Inconsistent performance: it works for a while, then stops.
Definitions are too simplistic and not comprehensive, especially for scientific terms.

Is Dictionary Anywhere Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Dictionary Anywhere requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
Critical ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** **********
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Dictionary Anywhere has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
