Finally, a Google Dictionary replacement that not only works great but looks and functions identically. I've been looking for an extension like this for a while, was looking at the dictionaryapi.dev API to make something and found this extension affiliated with them. Small suggestion for an easy enhancement would be to include a link to the Google Define search when the extension dosen't find a definition (same as it does when it does find the definition).

I think it is good and comfortable. You need only two click the word and you get the result.

Can you add more words for me to download? Currently it's preset to 7 but I want to increase to 50. Other than that it's pretty useful tool that show you pop up in the same page
