en If it's gonna fetch left-wing propaganda from google dictionary anyway, then what's the point of this as a separate extension? Might as well just use google dictionary extension.

I love this extension. It works perfectly for me, it's quick, doesn't mess up, provides at least a basic definition for every word I've tried it on. All that said, I wish it had an additional feature. I think it would be handy to have a link to search Wikipedia for that word, somewhere beside the word itself, maybe beside where the audio file is linked. It can just say "Wikipedia" or "Search Wikipedia", and it'll open a new tab showing the search results for that word in Wikipedia.

Highly customizable. But for some words it doesn't show pronunciation, wonder why?

Very good! But I give 2 stars because of stupid "modal-on-click" behavior which cannot be disabled

It is all good, but there is something irritating for me. It is common for me to lookup a new word but there are some unknown new words in the definition itself, so I double click on those words but the definition box reopens above the current definition box. I will end up scrolling up a couple of times so I lose the position of the original unknown words. I would prefer much if the new definition box opened in the same position where the last one is open.

The dictionary itself is great but the words that show phonetic spelling are scarce despite the Wiktionary page having them available and also it doesn't specifies the accent of each spelling which is really confusing
