User reviews

This is very good. Thank you!

A writer's best friend! This extension has accurate definitions, and is extremely helpful to instantly define words while reading anything online! However, it is a shame that synonyms only show up when you select text, as opposed to searching up a word yourself. As a writer, it's vital that I am able to search for synonyms as I am writing, but they do not show up if I search for the word on my own.
