Features & Capabilities

Learn Chinese while you browse. Select text to see word-by-word breakdowns with pinyin and definitions.

The best way to learn Chinese is by reading things you actually care about. HanziLens helps you do that without getting stuck on unfamiliar words.

Select any Chinese text on a webpage, right-click and choose "Analyze with HanziLens" (or hit Ctrl+Shift+H). You'll see the sentence broken down into individual words, each with its pinyin pronunciation and English definition.

Hover over a word to see detailed dictionary entries. Click it to open MDBG for deeper study.

This word-by-word breakdown helps you understand how Chinese sentences are structured - where one word ends and another begins, which characters form compound words, and how grammar particles fit in. That's the kind of pattern recognition that builds real reading fluency over time.

Open multiple popups to compare sentences, drag them around, close with Escape.

Works in light or dark mode.

Is HanziLens 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.

HanziLens requires a few sensitive permissions. 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.

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.

HanziLens is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
