TJL (ID: 000000b56c7f7f24) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/01/2023 I use TheFreeDictionary daily, it's a wonderful app. BUT the extension is not as advertised. It's clumsy and timeconsuming. First, you have to click twice to highlight the word, then left-click on it; you get a dropdown menu with +-6 menu items (depending on your browser), with TheFreeDictionary down towards the bottom. Most browsers include a search for the highlighted word (google for Chrome, bing for Microsoft Edge, etc.). I removed it from my Extensions immediately after I wrote this review.
