Very useful, would be cool to have the option to remove context menu button though

I've used this extension for a while after seeing it on bulbapedia and it's suuuuuper useful. being able to really quickly see the definitions of words or preview links in the same tab without having to constantly switch to new tabs or windows is amazing. i'm kinda shocked that this isn't more popular. my only criticism is that for now it's not really good at identifying phrases and it instead searches individual words. that can be avoided by highlighting the phrase you want to search and then long clicking, so this is mostly just a minor nitpick. love it!

Really helpful and useful, it would be perfect if they had a Spanish version, but, anyway, it allows me to do research and finish my homework much faster, highly recommended
