Thesaurus: Synonym 4 Right Click

this extension is broken. right-click option has been stuck on the same word for some time now

I used to like it, for the most part worked and was helpful, although when it was working, occasionally it would not recognize a word that you would think it should have. But lately it doesn't work at all, the extension is still there along with the permissions, but it just disappeared from the right click menu. I am about to remove it.

The suggestions are almost entirely unhelpful or useless. A singular contextual use list of alternatives with an extremely limited set of erratically grouped choices. This limits the extension to words with singular meaning only and even then the options given are only partially useful at best. For example the word 'submit' shows you /some/ of the 'present/offer' context of synonyms, but not the 'comply/endure' context synonyms. Words with dual meaning have a 50% chance at most of offering semi-appropriate, context relevant alternatives, nonetheless the negligible diversity of the selection are usually unsuitable even then. For the plethora of English words with three or more contexts of synonym though, this already barely minimum-viable-product becomes completely devoid of purpose. Making this effectively redundant to even attempt to use at all. The word 'written' has 8 different contextual uses, there are over 100 different synonyms for it in total - this extension shows you only 9 possible choices, no more than 2 of which are even the most sensible or useful synonyms to suggest. Out of the 30+ common words I tried, in every case I ended up selecting a more appropriate synonym from Thesaurus[dot]com instead of any of the choices presented via this deficient extension. If the no more than 1 to 3 logical alternatives shown in each case are not enough for you, then the ONLY other option is to search Urban Dictionary. Which having tried that now - is honestly the worst place to seek appropriate synonyms from. I attempted to use Urban-D as a source for synonyms (or antonyms) out of morbid curiousity, but it is indeed a complete waste of time, entirely unsuited to creative grammatical inspiration. This is a highly misleading and fake extension, as for the "just like you are used to it in Microsoft Office" part of the description - that is nothing more than flat out deceptive false advertising. This isn't even 10% as useful as the MS Office experience. This is so awful that frankly making that claim is actually libellous and defamatory, by implying that the MS Office experience is anywhere near as woefully abysmal as using this extension is. Anyone satisfied with this "offering" cannot posess any actual literary skill to begin with, this is the food stamp version of synonym appetite. I shouldn't have ignored the obvious red flag of the number 4 in place of the word in the title. Any dimwit still using such banal and trite 'leet speak' clearly has no actual linguistic intelligence and therefore no ability to produce anything that is even remotely capable of improving written communication. Even as reductive and unimaginative as Grammarly is, it's still vastly superior to this. After trialling an extensive number of options recently, Synonym 4 Right Click is by far the absolute worst. Relying on this is more likely to produce an inferior result than never searching for a synonym at all. The 4-star rating is only explained by the dim-witted plebeian masses for whom Urban Dictionary is sadly the pinnacle of intelligent discourse. TL;DR: This extension is nothing more than a 2-click gateway to Urban Dictionary with a cheap and almost entirely useless facade on top. It poorly attempts to imitate useful synonym functionality, but in reality is likely to only significantly diminish the quality of your writing. The developer is clearly either an ignoramus or a charlatan - or more likely both.
