User reviews

I came here because google chrome disabled MV2 extensions and so the Google Dictionary is unsupported. But the claim better than Google Dictionary is simply wrong as there is no shortcut like Alt+G to search from anywhere. (This is must for me). Other than that the ability to change font, background color, or different layouts (like concise mode) would be a great feature.

The extension doesn't work with PDF files. If you open PDF file via Chrome, then the extension doesn't work, I have activated the option "Allow access to file URLs", but just doesn't work in PDF files I'd greatly appreciate fixing the issue
