User reviews

So far it works great, not only giving a popup on your selected term, but also having a Define box in by clicking the extension icon in the bar. What does NOT work well is when you have a term in an edit box that is spelled wrong, so you click on the red-squiggly term to get the proper spelling; but then the word is selected and this extension pops up the definition, not my intension and annoying every time it happens. But then, the last dictionary extension didn't even work in an edit box. <shug> Since the extension may not be able to detect when it's defining a just-spell-corrected term, it should probably offer the option to not function in an edit control.

Doesn't work at all in Chrome. I was hoping you can click a word and get a pop-up window with the meaning but no. Even when you right click and select 'define' using this extension, nothing happens. Even the extension search box in the toolbar returns nothing.

it kinda works, the window is too small to show the whole definition.
