double clicking shows the word instantly which could be distracting if I just want to select it. I don't like using a hotkey and prefer to do the whole action with the mouse. Could you please add a conext menu option? I would like to select a word and only if I need the definition, right click and choose define from the context menu. Thanks.

I just used this on Twitter and the words "Production", "Inexorably" and other words don't give me any definition :(

Overall simple and useful extension. I wish other languages were supported. Is it really that difficult to make functionality so any custom dict file can be used? It seems so funny in the year 2024 that a dictionary app is hardfixed for Spanish, German, French and English.
