Oleksander Dudar (ID: 0000002e4e6748ab) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/27/2019 It just doesn’t work at all.

Yumaa Verdin (ID: 000000fc22621f59) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2019 Excellent extension, aside one really irritating behavior — can you filter out one-letter length selections? It is really bugs and annoys me, when I accidentally selects single letter, because of mouse shakes while click button or link, and I see popup from Wikipedia about «Z - latest letter in the alphabet blablabla»...

Arex (ID: 0000001a8c271bbb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/30/2019 Just Fvking AWESOME dude. Been searching for this kind extension loooooooooong time, this is the very first one can "explain or search that highlighted word for me, NOT in new tab/new window, just a pop up" You know what, if this little cute can do things more than "showing the result of wikiSearch", I mean something like "show the google/bing search result of the highlight word" or support multi language search (means I dont need to switch to the specific language, it can search both Eng and Chs,), I'll pay 10 bucks for that.
