Microsoft Edge has a much nicer implementation and experience. Google Dictionary has no Right-Click context menu option. Edge adds it to the Right-Click context menu as "Define word/phrase" (among other options like Search, Translate, Read aloud, etc). And if you double-click or highlight a word in Edge, it provides a subtle "..." popup that lets you easily choose Define (as well as more), which fades away if you don't use it. Google's implementation is EXTREMELY distracting and requires you to set a keyboard trigger key if you don't want it popping up every time you highlight a word or double click something to perform a selection. Then, if you set a keyboard trigger, you can no longer access it via mouse alone. Google even recognizes this annoyance, since they built in a tip that pops up after the 4th time suggesting you create a trigger key. Edge also provides more than just the definition and audio play, but also multiple meanings, synonyms, examples, and copy. Neither Google nor Edge provide Origin of word initially. This one gets bonus points for Instant Translation of foreign words (Edge doesn't), as well as Google's MORE always returns a Definition, whereas Edge's "more" is just a Search. 2 star rating means it's better than Chrome's complete lack of Define (0 stars), but the company's products are starting of feel dated and inefficient as the world evolves.
Was working fine up until a few days ago, now just says searching. 1 star. Fix it.
TLDR Review: I switched to: Instant Dictionary by GoodWordGuide.com and it works, just like Google Dictionary used to. Review: I have given this extension 5 stars before, but it no longer works. Hence the low score. I've done everything possible. Update Chrome, delete cookies, cache for "All Time", uninstalled, reinstalled (both the extension AND Chrome itself), turned off ALL other extensions. At best it works 1 time, upon a complete and total wipe of everything Chrome and starting completely over. Re-open Chrome and it instantly doesn't work again.
Doesn't work at all for me on my Pixelbook Go. I tried various options and none opened a definition. I uninstalled it.
Won't load any words I search up :(
Really awesome. But this hasn't been updated for a while. Please improve the UI.
Where is the option to STOP asking the recipient to turn on Mail tracking????
読みが分からない漢字、正確な意味を知らない言葉、英単語などをダブルクリックで知る事ができる。 目的の文字をダブルクリックで選択できない場合でも、特定のキー(Ctrlなど)を使って範囲指定も出来る(”オプション”で設定)のでとても使いやすい。
This extension is hecking awesome. keep up the good work google :D btw if your extension stops working at one point try removing all the cookies, it should work again
