Johnny		 en It gets confused when you, say, want to Wiki a Japanese name that's on an ENGLISH webpage as is often the case with Anime stuff. It will open English Wikipedia instead of Japanese. Also I don't get the idea of having to click on the green corner to open it in a new tab ? Why isn't there an option just to auto open it in a new tab as soon as you click on the icon !

Reb		 I never write chrome extension reviews but this is hands down the best extension I've ever downloaded and I use it more than any other extension (except maybe Power Thesaurus, but I have a few issues with that one) I often have too many tabs open (ADHD baby), so being able to highlight something and find more info on it WITHOUT right clicking the "search google for ___" to open it in a new tab, but instead being able to have the info open without leaving the tab or website I'm currently on? Game-changing. It's helpful both for specific knowledge (elaborating on a concept in an informative article) or just basic stuff like what a celebrity looks like and what show/movie I've seen them in. I also appreciate that you can hold over hyperlinked text in the article and it'll still pop up the same info like it would in a normal wiki page. Wiktionary being incorporated into the extension is also a bonus. 10/10, highly recommend.

Luc Godfroid		 Hello, C'est évidemment une extension bien utile. Merci. Ce que je regrette (: 4/5) c'est l'impossibilité de voir la langue active dans l'extension (sauf d'aller dans les options). Cordialement.
