Really one of the easiest ways to make immersion more comprehensible instead of limiting yourself to comprehensible but boring materials. I have been using Migaku for years to extract learnings from shows I would already want to watch anyway.

Extremely difficult to setup and use with local files. They do not work even using their converter

It's pretty good! It helps you identify words you don't know. It can actually work with other youtube videos than what it recommends, but it's not always available. I would say just keep trying with the extension open to find a video you want to watch that works with the extension. I've watched game trailers with it. It's so nice that it captures the image and sentence you find the word in to make a flashcard.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Migaku: Really Learn Languages requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
