Look up dictionary by using Right Click

The "Look up dictionary by using Right Click" Chrome extension enables users to easily lookup words by right-clicking on text and selecting the "Look up in dictionary" option. It leverages the dict:// URI scheme to seamlessly connect with external dictionary software. macOS users can utilize this out-of-the-box via the built-in dictionary app, while Windows and Linux users can integrate this functionality by preparing and customizing a simple wrapper script.

The extension requires some programming skills to set up on non-macOS systems, including creating or modifying scripts (e.g., Python for Linux, AutoHotkey for Windows) to handle dictionary calls safely. It also involves adding the dict URI scheme handler manually in Firefox options due to browser security policies. The extension is a fork from a similar Firefox addon and provides detailed instructions, example scripts, and GitHub resources to help users through setup. Perfect for power users looking to enhance their reading and research workflow in the browser.
