F N (ID: 00000078a3f90097) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/02/2023 英語の勉強も兼ねて英語の記事を読むときに使用しています。分からない部分だけマウスオーバーで単語の意味を表示してくれるため便利です。1つの単語の意味の文章量が多い物は、その後ろに熟語の表記があったとしても表示しきれないのは難点ですが、これはどうしようもないのでそういう時はググってます。

Clore kuro (ID: 00000055aec8099e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/16/2023 とても便利に使っていたのですが、chromeにメモリーセーバーの機能が入って最近調子が悪くなった気がします。具体的には複数タブのうちの一つで辞書を利用していて、時間がたつと枠がでてこなくなったり、枠がでてても内容が真っ白で表示されなくなったりします。また拡張機能に辞書がでているので一度オフにしてみようとクリックしても反応がないです。ページの更新をしても変わりません。メモリーセーバーをオフにしたら一旦使えるようになりましたが時間がたつと枠はあるけど中身が表示されません。
