Tran Hung (ID: 000000d64f57ab41) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/14/2024 This good, maybe the best in market, very tailor for everyone need. Still have space for improve: 1. Should have a simpler version meet basic need: copy, translate, google search. This will be easier for someone who have not time to discover many option in current version. 2. Translate should popup directly on using tab, instead of be opened in new tab, I need the pronounce function of google translation, but don't want to wait for new tab, and waste more time to close that tab -> I missed the respond of developer below, but now, I'm totally satisfy with this product. It's just wonderful

Серж Мирный (ID: 000000d3d3cb9b41) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/19/2024 Дайте дайте обнять спеца! Мои скромные потребности после многолетнего использования макстона не увеличились. И я да - против некоторых улучшений. И вот вдруг оказалось, что можно и так... Моей благодарности таки нет предела!!!

OrderlyHippo (ID: 0000002486b54c3b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/08/2024 I installed this extension for a tiny little pop-up to define words. It only searches Wikipedia for definitions. Very disappointing that I almost uninstalled. What kept me from uninstalling are the copy and search buttons which are very useful. I was pleasantly surprised by the Highlight feature, then disappointed at how buggy it was that I disabled it. Shouldn't even be an option. 4/5 stars unless "define" button is improved. Then I'll change to 5/5. Reply to dev: I see how it works now. Something like the Google Dictionary extension is what I expected. Wikipedia definitions can be very different. Thank you for the informative reply. I'll give 5 stars now. And thank you for the extension! It is truly good despite being buggy at times. Perhaps you can change the button from "dictionary" to something like "encyclopedia" to be clearer to the user. Also, I noticed when using my finger on touchscreen to select text, the popup no longer appears.
