Michal Hlava (ID: 000000d00563c7ac) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/08/2024 The extension wasn't working for over a year but now it's back to normal, love this. edit: never mind, it's not working anymore...

Cold Foot (ID: 00000014dfea8396) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 I really wished this extension could have worked for me, but it doesn't seem to search any dictionaries that include biological and medical terminology. It has potential to be so useful if users could search for or add field-specific dictionaries, or if there were an option to (at least) provide a definition of the Greek/Latin roots if a word isn't recognized. On the plus side, definitions were successfully provided during 25-30% of usage. But the experience has been more frustrating and significantly disappointing overall, to the point where I feel inclined to provide excessive feedback in a review.
