Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Search the web without opening a new tab at the instant you select text on a page. Fetch definitions, translations, and examples from multiple sources in multiple languages at the same time. View results in a small pop-up bubble next to the selection area. Or search from extension's popup window by typing the query, instead of selecting it on a page.

Customizability is a priority, so in options app you can configure:

⚙️ Bubble activation

Configure how and when to trigger bubble to pop-up. Completely disable or enable bubble on certain pages by creating flexible URL rules. Extension icon will turn gray when the bubble is disabled on the active page.

⚙️ Sources

Results are being fetched from multiple sources simultaneously. There are 2 types of sources: content (text & images) and audio (pronunciation recordings or synthesis). Configure the order in which results from different sources are displayed or disable some sources completely.

📄 Supported content sources: • Google Dictionary • Google Translate 🆕

Отличное расширение. Только не понятно почему активируется не на всех страницах? На wikipedia работает, тут нет - https://www.everywritersresource.com/shortstories/the-last-leaf-by-ohenry/

When the double click works, its great but I am not sure why it only works 30% of the time for me. I have to keep going to the option page to disable/enable an option to use it.
