Buttress Vocabulary Extension

Coming across new words is easy and even knowing its definition. However, memorizing the words that you read doesn't come naturally. You have to work on it.

This extension will ease this job.

It lets you see the definition of a double-clicked word along with its pronunciation. However, this is not a striking feature as couple of other apps do it right now.

You can quickly see all the words that you have looked up each day. Apart from a dictionary app it is also a vocabulary builder. Like other apps it doesn't inundates you with so many words that you have never seen. Memorizing the words for which you have a context will be much easier.

WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE WORDS YOU LOOKUP!

Bergg Uscha (ID: 000000eeeb7ec01f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/23/2021 It seems to be OK. If the developer is interested in improving, here are some of my observations: - the process of selection of words on the internet is not predominant to vocabulary gathering. as a result I have words that have been selected, but not because I wanted to remember them. - incompatible with Dark Reader extension. colors become partially inverted and thus the interface is not readable - I don't need the extension on every selection, especially not when the interface is blocking the view - the output / vocabulary should not be the end product. I want to work with the list. That means: export as txt or copy and paste, for example, in Quizlet or Excel. Hmm, now I see the development stopped. LOL pitty.
