| 2025-01-22 | OzMerry | | I've been using this add-on frequently for a long time and it's been great, but it has now stopped working :-( It appears that it hasn't been updated since November 2021, but hopefully the author will see all of the recent reviews and fix it for us. |
| 2025-01-21 | LingeringAme | | doesn't work most of the time. I double-click a word and it says it couldn't find the definition. |
| 2025-01-21 | Firefox user 12948668 | | It doesn't work and never finds a definition for any words I try. |
| 2025-01-20 | Firefox user 14170213 | | 99% of time doesn't work. No definition show up. |
| 2025-01-19 | minnie :3 | | Most of the time, its more than great! I love this add on so much and I dont know what I would do without it. The only reason I rated it 4 stars is that for some reason, for extended periods of time, it will just say "Sorry, no definition found" on words that I know it has been able to find a definition for before, and it does it to EVERY word, even simple ones. I'm stuck in that state right now unfortunately. Other than this, props to the dev! |
| 2025-01-18 | ballism32 | | Was ok but stopped working a few days ago. It's pulling from google which doesn't know like a third of words. If there's a way, use Wiktionary instead |
| 2025-01-18 | Borneo | | This extension just doesn’t know a lot of words. Words like superlative, a word common enough for me to recognise it but obviously obscure enough to not know already. It's a dictionary and it literally doesn't even know like 30% of the words I try looking up. |

| 2025-01-16 | Shahius | | One of my favorites, but stopped working today. Always show "No definition found". |
