    Cool extension, I like the various sources it can show and the customization. The popups on text select are annoying though. They keep getting added and I keep turning them off. Though I do appreciate I can individually turn them off.

    Edit 1: idk how to reply to replies, so I'm replying as an edit—Some people like the popups on text select, which is fine. As long as I can toggle it off, I'm happy. My personal reason is that I select text as I read, it's a weird habit, but I have heard of other people doing this too. Having a popup appear is too distracting when I'm reading. Which is why I really like that you can configure this extension to only show popups when using a key like Ctrl or Shift.

    Edit 2: Hi, I listened to your advice, in the new v6.4.1 I added the option to show the selection bubble only when a modifier key (ie. Ctrl, Shift or Alt) is pressed. PS, go to settings you will find the option. And you can press the key either in selection or after.

    If you like it, can I earn back the missing star? :D

    Edit 1: Thank you again for the feedback. I see, that's good to know. It's really interesting to see different people have different preference and habit. I will add that configuration you suggested.

    Thanks for the feedback. Sorry for the popup parade. I’ve been working like a machine these past few days to add features I was really really excited about, and I thought others would feel the same. Sorry you’ve had to turn them off one by one. If you can, give them a try and let me know what you like or hate about. If you prefer turning them off, please tell me why. I’ll owe you a big favor... And I promise I will take a break for the next few weeks, so no new features will be popping up.

    I really like the simplicity of this app. It just works exactly as it says. There does seem to be a bug with the setting to disable the Captions YouTube link. Every time I disable it and it comes right back the next time I restart Firefox. It's not a big deal but it is annoying.

    It should work correctly. Could you try to remove some of the word history then save the settings again? It could be that the storage of the addon has been used up so that the settings are not persisted.

    The best and most comprehensive dictionary extension I've ever used by far. Sometimes however the 'mouse-over-a-word-for-a-definitions-popup' function, will stop working and I need to restart my browser to fix it. Otherwise I love this extension. I am using a non-standard browser (LibreWolf, a fork of Firefox), so this could conceivably be the issue since I haven't tested if it happens in other browsers.

    Great extension!

    I think one function is missing for 5-stars: I want to easily turn it on and off. With a right click on the button or in the pop-up menu.

    Thanks!

    Hi, thank you for the feedback. But it actually supports to open from the context menu and left click on the icon button. Isn't it enough?

    Hey River,
    Pretty good addon with only noticeable issue at the moment. Clicking on the pronunciation button often causes a lag in the voice , it hangs or repeats even after clicking once.
