I dont remember ever encountering UX breaking bugs on 10ten, nor the previous rikaichamp or the older rikaichan

Amazing extension, this is going to help me a lot to learn Japanese. One feature I wish it had is to display furigana over kanji when on hover. That aside, I'm glad I found this extension. Good job!
