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

Just installed and spot some mistakes in this app. For example, 徐に should means slowly, calmly ONLY. Youngsters have misused it as suddenly way too often. I would recommend to switch it from non-standard to misuse (非標準的な → 誤用) Source: https://eigobu.jp/magazine/omomuroni
