## Description

**Dictionary on Click** lets you define words without leaving the page. Double-click any word on most HTTP or HTTPS websites to see meanings, parts of speech, and pronunciation in a convenient definition bubble. Use the toolbar dictionary to search manually, view longer Wiktionary entries, select from 18 languages, and listen to available pronunciations.

The add-on is free, requires no API keys or subscription, and prioritizes privacy. Optional lookup history, cached words, reports, diagnostics, and usage data stay on your device with no remote telemetry. Choose a system, light, or dark theme, and export or clear local data from the preferences page.
