I've been using it for 1.5 years now and this extension is amazingly convenient. The only thing is it would be cool to have the option to search for words by default, because I have to choose it from the menu every time

The extension is very well made and looks really cute. The only thing I'm missing is a feature to maybe search for kanjis by drawing in case u cant copy/paste them. Otherwise 10/10! :)

This is so good. Even though my English is not good enough, it is very useful because I can easily search for the order of writing Chinese characters.
