2023-11-04	Firefox user 14942082	Super useful. Hopefully one day when we select several words we can have all of them instead of one by one. But overall great add-on, thank you so much !

2023-07-15	Nightlark	Doesn't show an icon in the toolbar like it should, nor does it have an option to enable it in the add-on settings. Cannot be activated in this current update and is not usable.

2023-06-09	Firefox user 17935234	The extension works well, but often instead of just showing the definition, it'll say "see [another entry]", for example for 抑扬顿挫, it says "see 顿挫抑扬", which would be fine if this wasn't for an extension to hover over words. This means that I have to look up the term anyways, which sort of defeats the purpose of installing this extension.
2023-03-18	Firefox user 17794480	Simply doesn't work for me in any way right after installing the add-on. Restarting Firefox or reloading pages doesn't help. There is simply no add-on logo in top right corner.
