Buttress Vocabulary: Enhance Your Reading Skills

"Buttress Vocabulary" is a Chrome extension that allows users to easily look up definitions and pronunciations of words by double-clicking them. It tracks your daily word lookups, making it a useful vocabulary builder. Unlike other apps, it focuses on relevant words you've encountered, facilitating easier memorization in context. Plus, your privacy is assured as the extension does not access your lookup data.
