User reviews
Pretty good but would like it to open in the center rather than corners. And, wish it could open as a popup near the word we highlight rather than a new window. It would be nice to have that setting so we could choose which one we'd like to use.
Not much settings as of now, just provider and location. No sizing, etc.
It's just a quick way to reach those 4 providers (websites).

Finally!! My MacOS dictionary integration with Edge has been broken for months! Now I finally have a GOOD dictionary at my fingertips as I read within my browser!
