Abby (ID: 0000008cbb670f50) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/11/2020 This extension is great for doing research with hard to understand words with my schoolwork. It helps me understand what the text is talking about and now I can have a trusted site at my finger-tips. Great Work all!

John Thimakis (ID: 0000002e9fdb4ed8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/31/2020 Extremely handy extension. Works very well. No problems encountered so far. * TIP: If you have trouble finding definitions for a word and it reports that: Sorry, we couldn't find any matching definitions... Try not using plurals. Eg: Use, ie highlight: "allusion" instead of "allusions".

Oleksandr (ID: 0000003b631aaaa1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/21/2019 it would be cool if when pressed the 'and * more' button the result was displayed in the same window rather than redirected to the site

Gene Grant (ID: 00000004f976af82) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/09/2019 Love this tool, very useful! I am curious as to what information it gathers beyond what is needed to look up a word, though. Is there a privacy concern regarding its use?
