DavRambo (ID: 0000007cedcc3427) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/07/2022 Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! I do wish there were a keyboard shortcut to pop it open so that I would not need to use the mouse. I don't know whether that is possible for chrome extensions.

Diego Mancera (ID: 0000002902badb0d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/20/2021 Facilita la búsqueda de palabras en el diccionario de WordReference ya que no es necesario estar saltando (cambiando) de una pestaña a otra, lo cual permite mantener mejor la concentración en la actividad que se está haciendo.

Sebastián Sabogal (ID: 0000003f506db895) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/19/2021 Facilita muchísimo el trabajo, promete lo que cumple y no reduce las opciones de Word Reference. Sería perfecta si le añadieran un atajo por el menú de opciones al clicar sobre una palabra. Pero así como está ya ayuda enormemente. ¡Gracias!
