very handy, I am able to look up any unknown word automatically. it seems like it supports other languages but not fully; depends on google, i guess, as this extension relied on a google search. sometimes you might not be reading stuff, i recommend changing the setting to 'click to enable the extension' rather than available at all times.

Only the basic, common definitions are listed here. You have to (inconveniently) click "more" to see more definitions of that word. Lazy app.

Great Extension! Can you fix this issue? "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions."
