Review summary

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.
