Add-on summary

Watch a short video — https://youtu.be/AycNBiSBjXA
Search the web without opening a new tab at the instant you select text on a page. Fetch definitions, translations, and examples from multiple sources in multiple languages at the same time. View results in a small pop-up bubble next to the selection area. Or search from extension's popup window by typing the query, instead of selecting it on a page.

Customizability is a priority, so in options app you can configure:

⚙️ Bubble activation

Configure how and when to trigger bubble to pop-up. Completely disable or enable bubble on certain pages by creating flexible URL rules. Extension icon will turn gray when the bubble is disabled on the active page.

⚙️ Sources

Results are being fetched from multiple sources simultaneously. There are 2 types of sources: content (text & images) and audio (pronunciation recordings or synthesis). Configure the order in which results from different sources are displayed or disable some sources completely.

📄 Supported content sources: • Google Dictionary

User reviews
Nice attention to detail. Good job dev <3

This is all I wanted. Nice UI, flexible customization. Super convenient for looking up words quickly, instead of typing the whole thing on the google or whatever dictionary site I've been using, hence saves me tons of times and energy. If there's a wish for the add-on, it'd be adding additional custom dictionary slots. Will be more helpful to have 2 dictionaries, 1 specialized for definition search and another for verb conjugations.

you should have Wiktionary as a default source and support multiple customs sources but otherwise amazing extension
