2023-06-10 Dexms4 Rarely works for non-root word forms, and definitions are often pointless.

2022-03-08 Legion Dictionary is US orientated. Example: for 'brave' (noun) - "A North American Indian warrior." For 'centre' (verb) - "To cause (an object) to occupy the center of an area." This highlights why sniffing the backside of the American dog is not a good idea.
2022-03-08 Firefox user 14108734 Ok, I can't stand this app anymore. Really? You can't find the definition for the word "rhetoric"? This thing cant find anything. I dont know what database it is using, but its missing basic words. Time to look for a new plugin.

2021-06-11 Firefox user 16664541 could be really good. I liked how simple it was, and the UI was clean when it displayed the definition. however, probably more than half of the words that I actually need to search a definition for, don't show any results on this extension! the majority of the time I end up having to google it, which shows a definition fine. if there was just a wider range of words in this extension, it would be good. until then, I'm going to have to uninstall.
2021-05-01 Firefox user 14083957 This would have been an easy 5-stars if we could only add a key to activate the search function. I mean, we all double-click stuff all the time, but how many times have you meant to check the definition of the text rather than just copy it or something?
