Right Click Wiktionary

Wiktionary lives in the context menu. Easy-to-read popup that won't slow you down. New, maintained version, by Aesara: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/contextual-wiktionary/

Maintenance notice:

I recommend trying out https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/contextual-wiktionary/ , as it is the successor of Right Click WIktionary, better maintained these days, receives more updates, and is more open to feature requests.

===

Easy dictionary. Select text and right click.

It's a lightweight addon for a specific job: dictionary lookup.

By default uses the English Wiktionary (en.wiktionary.org). You can change your language preference in the preferences page (surprise there).

I'm not affiliated with Wiktionary or the Wikimedia foundation in any way.

Permissions:

  • context menus
  • https://en.wiktionary.org/api/rest_v1/page/definition/*
    • the wiktionary API page that provides the translations.
  • storage
    • Needed for options (themes/language choice)
    • Because everyone has different preferences/setups and making the popup readable is essential for the addon.

Excellent! The text can be copied from this one but not with "Contextual Wiktionary" FF v.99

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Right Click Wiktionary requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Low Request access to the following domains: {{requestedDomains}}
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Right Click Wiktionary has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
