Features & Capabilities

Word Hints Lookup is a keyboard-first dictionary for webpages.

Press Command+Shift+L on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+L on other systems. Short keyboard hints appear over visible words. Type a hint to open the selected word in a scrollable side panel—without reaching for the mouse.

Features:

English definitions, pronunciation, examples, and synonyms
English–Russian translations
Keyboard navigation using J/K, arrow keys, Page Up, and Page Down
Compatibility with keyboard-navigation extensions such as Surfingkeys
An English-only fallback dictionary when the primary provider is unavailable
No accounts, advertising, analytics, or lookup history

The selected word is sent to the dictionary provider only after you explicitly choose it. The surrounding sentence and current page URL remain in your browser.

Is Word Hints Lookup Safe?

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.

Word Hints Lookup requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

Word Hints Lookup is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
