Mimic dictionary Extension

Do you search for the definitions of the words, their examples of usage, synonyms or opposites? If you do, you probably do this using several dictionaries as all of them vary in content. Some of them please you with clear example sentences, others satisfy your thirst for more accurate definitions. This work requires you to enter the same word in each dictionary again and again with a long line of tabs open. We’ve decided to put an end to this and created the Mimic Dictionary!

With this extension, you can:

- enter a word into the search box and look it up in the dictionaries from the list on the sidebar with one tab open
- select words on websites and look them up in the dictionaries through the context menu
- compare the search results having opened several dictionary sites at a time

Features

- changing the position of the sidebar on the screen
- changing the position of the toggle that unfolds the sidebar
- reordering the dictionaries on the sidebar
- dark theme

Анастасия Труханова (ID: 000000d1b2830fa4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/07/2021 Расширение СУПЕР! Благодаря ему я экономлю много времени в процессе работы с лексикой. Однозначно рекомендую его и преподавателям, и студентам (особенно лингвистам), и просто всем изучающим английский! Более того, благодаря данному расширению я стала чаще пользоваться словарями, не только потому что "надо", но и просто для себя, так как процесс поиска стал настолько простым, что останавливаться на одном словаре просто не хочется!)) Вот раньше приходилось открывать кучу словарей в разных вкладках, копировать слова, вставлять, искать, возвращаться... А теперь ПРОСТО СКАЗКА! СПАСИБО!

Natalia Kotova (ID: 00000005078cf5e7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/31/2021 Очень классное расширение! Экономит время и силы. Здорово, что из одного ресурса можно перейти сразу же в другой, при этом не меняя вкладки. А также удобно в статье выделить нужное и сразу перейти в Fraze.it или YouGlish или любой другой ресурс. Рекомендую и преподавателям, и изучающим язык. Абсолютно каждый останется под впечатлением. Спасибо большое разработчикам!:)
