User reviews

It's the nicest popup dictionary extension I've used so far, but there is currently no option that I can see to have a monolingual dictionary, so I find myself having to return to Yomichan. Would be great if you're able to add this feature in the future.

Brilliant extension. Please support it for many years to come.

Doesn't work in Google search results in Opera browser. Quite frustrating as I love the add-on otherwise.
