Picatule (ID: 00000065bbe148b4) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/14/2023 It's great! Thank you very much! If it can save lookup word histories and export to Anki or local, that be perfect.

H0k4 (ID: 00000054535a1d68) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/01/2023 When you research, it's pretty useful, but it kinda annoys me when the pop-up always appears in the middle

Steve (ID: 0000001e5189d773) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/28/2023 Fantastic! Super Excellent! 5-stars! Edit: The only issue that is concerning to me is this: I have about 7 dictionaries. Step 1: I double-click a word and then select the first dictionary on my list, Collins. At the bottom of the page (where the user can change to a different dictionary), Collins is highlighted in the list of dictionaries. Step 2: When I then click each of the remaining 6 dictionaries, Collins remains highlighted(!) - even though I have selected a different dictionary on the list. So I can't sequentially click each dictionary on the list, and know where I'm at - because Collins (the first dictionary on the list) ALWAYS remains highlighted in the list of dictionaries in the pop-up at the bottom of the page. --------------- Edit: When I increase the pixel width, there is no effect. The Normal width of the pop-up is too narrow for me (the old extension's pop-up was fine). I tried increasing the pixel width +25, -25 and +500, but there was no change.
