Alexandte RFST (ID: 00000027a89a3956) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/19/2020 Very good addon. Would be cool if it was in a popup and not in a new tab each time we search for a word.

Jeong-hun Sin (ID: 000000fe9b0ce66a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/18/2019 Does anyone else experience weird page refresh or scrolling after installing this extension? That is, when the page is idle, sometimes the page refreshes itself for no reason, and scrolls to a different place. I am not 100% sure if this extension is the cause, but I have suspicions. All I wanted a simple extension that adds "Wiktionary" in the selection context menu, so I have no complaints about the functionality. But I'm tentatively giving it 3 stars.

G. O. (ID: 000000d1bc4d1dd2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/26/2019 I am a native Chinese who also needs to look for words in Wiktionary, usually for their dated or archaic or rare uses. Pro: - quick right click search feature Con: - Can't belive you're not allowed to search words from English Wiktionary pages but the Chinese pages, and when you try to configure the setting in the button, there is nothing but meaningless ASCII code thing. If you're not an English spoken guy, you're highly possible gonna jump to your language page.
