| 2024-07-08 |  | | en | 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 |

| 2024-06-22 |  | | en | Double clicking is not working. it's not showing anything. Reinstalled it but still same. Ver. 20.5 EDIT: Now working fine again |
| 2024-06-23 |  | | en | double click or extension or website nothing is working |
| 2024-05-21 |  | | en | It pops up and blocks other popups, and there is no "X" close button in the top right corner to close it so we can see the other smaller popups. There needs to be a close button or there should be a way to drag/move it to a different location so we can see the smaller popups that this extension is on top of. |
| 2024-05-21 |  | | en | Used to work well, but now the popup will not open at all on clicking extension icon in the bar. |
| 2024-04-25 |  | | en | When it actually has the definition to a word I'm looking up, the definition is often incomplete (if a better dictionary has 5 definitions for a word, this extension might only show 2). But the most common situation I face when using this extension is that it doesn't recognize the word at all. Words that are spelled correctly. Relatively common words. It won't matter. It doesn't have them. It also doesn't have any ability to attempt word-matching in case a word is spelled slightly wrong. And god forbid a word ends in "ing" or "s" etc. If the word is not in its base form, this extension won't know what to do with it. |
| 2024-04-20 |  | | en | Best thing ever. I love it. It's so so so useful. |
| 2024-03-02 |  | | en | in a word '' amazing'' best regards |
| 2024-02-28 |  | | en | its bad dictionary for kids they are small and it cant read for you but its fair |
