Lookup Word in Dictionary Extension

Just right-click on the selected text and choose
* Lookup 'text' on the world famous, blue and red colored online dictionary
context menu item and there you go!

It was easy, huh?

Or alternatively you can hit \"Alt + W\" shortcut to get the selected text looked up or if there is nothing selected, then the online dictionary is started up on a new tab. (Since version 1.2)

HINT: Just be careful not hitting \"Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + W\" instead, because it will close your active tab. But in case if you did so, don't panic, you can recover that tab by pressing \"Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Shift + T\".

shahriar azadian (ID: 0000007861e5cd71) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/23/2022 the best dictionary for esl and native speakers.

Ajay Kumar (ID: 000000a74705445f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/21/2021 Everything is great with the dictionary but using the extension and looking up words open a new tab instead of a pop up bubble right there on that page, it shouldn't be like that. One star less for that caveat.

Tunde Ola (ID: 000000e82436b554) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/16/2020 I actually would want it to show me results without leaving the page I'm in. Maybe I can just double click or just right click and select Lookup, but the result shouldn't take me off my page.

W. Colin McKay (ID: 0000001be193c259) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/31/2020 Excellent. Just as expected!
