It is really frustrating that they are ignoring our feedbacks and bug reports.

I've been using rikaikun for like.. 2 years maybe? Loved it, but now I'm not sure if it got updated or something and it's just not working the way it used to, especially in text boxes, it's all buggy now. It's interrupting me while I'm typing and it's gotten really annoying, I have to deactivate it to be able to type properly now... please look into it :) cheers

This is a great tool for learning Kanji. I use it to understand what I am reading. It also allows for direct cut and paste by hovering over the kanji set, and pulling it over to a word document for further study. I use a self-made graph to help me with memorization. Blessed is technology. Learning kanji was much more time consuming before I started using this. Just one suggestion might be to correct the issue that sometimes it does not separate the kanji set into its elements. Thank you so much for your hard work.

It works okay for me. I've only had it for a few minutes now and I've already tested it out on a few websites. One problem I had was when I hovered over 「...のミス...」. When I hovered の it included ミ as part of the word with it. It's obviously incorrect considering の is Hiragana and ミ is Katakana. I hope for that to be fixed soon.

This is absolutely the single most useful Chrome extension available. I would not have been able to transition from Firefox without it!
