2025-01-24 Titusraven very nice. personally i think its better than "Dictionary Anywhere" as it can do pop up definitions too... but it doesnt suffer from the issue of not being able to define a word because the double-click selected the space after. also, if it cant find a definition, it leaves a "more" link to quickly bring up another tab to a dictionary site of your choice (i chose "Urban Dictionary")! just remember to go thru the options and pick your search engine...

2023-06-10 Dexms4 Rarely works for non-root word forms, and definitions are often pointless.

2022-03-08 Legion Dictionary is US orientated. Example: for 'brave' (noun) - "A North American Indian warrior." For 'centre' (verb) - "To cause (an object) to occupy the center of an area." This highlights why sniffing the backside of the American dog is not a good idea.
2022-03-08 Firefox user 14108734 Ok, I can't stand this app anymore. Really? You can't find the definition for the word "rhetoric"? This thing cant find anything. I dont know what database it is using, but its missing basic words. Time to look for a new plugin.
