Cole Lawrence Peltier (ID: 00000013baf4a757) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/17/2021 I'm sure this app is great for some languages, but for Vietnamese, the diacritical marks in Vietnamese text confuses the lookup and replaces the letters with "&" so that the lookup is broken. I was using this app to lookup Vietnamese words in the Vietnamese-language Wiktionary (not the English-language Wiktionary), so perhaps the bug is related to this. Please fix this issue.

Alexandte RFST (ID: 00000027a89a3956) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/19/2020 Difficult to understand how it functions, and when we understand, it doesn't function well

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.
