When I right-click to open the context menu, nothing appears. It appears not to function properly. They should release an updated version as soon as possible.

The chrome extension (ludwig.guru) is not working on my windows laptop. Selecting text on browser does not bring up the pop-up, nor does right click on context menu item display anything. I have to go to ludwig to make a query.
