Nirmal Kusal (ID: 000000d1ccf8a7d9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 Great extension thank you. the lktips extension stopped working because it wasn't updated. this extension saved the day. Could you make it instantly popup the meanings when the cursor is hovering on the word, without clicking the icon or highlighting the English word. also can you increase the font size of the popup and increase the space between words, it is hard to read with the current font size.
