Flashcard Dictionary Extension

Have you ever encountered a new vocabulary and it is distracting for you to go to another website to search for its definition? Did you keep searching the same words over and over again hoping that you could have a tool to help you master it?

This why I've created this Flashcard Dictionary extension. It contains three major functions.
Highlight to search
List of searched words
Quiz

With this, I hope that your reading experience will be better and you will be able to master new words easier. Happy reading!
