A great extension for everyone... I believe it is superior to Google extensions because it offers simpler meanings, displays phonetics, and illustrates word usage rules within sentences.

Hello developer I trust you're doing well! Currently, I'm exploring opportunities to grow my business by investing in Chrome extensions. Your extension has caught my attention, and I am genuinely interested in discussing the possibility of acquiring it.

I like its simplicity a lot, and want to keep it as my default dictionary but please add an option to define words on pdfs. I read books in pdf format a lot, it'll be really helpful to add just an option that one can enable and allow if it'll need any additional permission to access the pdf file, also add an option to access pages in reading mode. The biggest utilisation of dictionary is literally in reading mode.
