Description

Instant definitions, translations, and search results for words and phrases you select or type

Search the web without opening a new tab at the instant you select text on a page. Fetch definitions, translations, and examples from multiple sources in multiple languages at the same time. View results in a small pop-up bubble next to the selection area. Or search from extension's popup window by typing the query, instead of selecting it on a page.

Customizability is a priority, so in options app you can configure:

βš™οΈ Bubble activation

Configure how and when to trigger bubble to pop-up. Completely disable or enable bubble on certain pages by creating flexible URL rules. Extension icon will turn gray when the bubble is disabled on the active page.

βš™οΈ Sources

Results are being fetched from multiple sources simultaneously. There are 2 types of sources: content (text & images) and audio (pronunciation recordings or synthesis). Configure the order in which results from different sources are displayed or disable some sources completely.

πŸ“„ Supported content sources:
β€’ Google Dictionary
β€’ Google Translate πŸ†•
β€’ DuckDuckGo Instant Answers
β€’ Wikipedia
β€’ Bing Images πŸ†•
β€’ Google Search
β€’ Custom πŸ†•

πŸ”Š Supported audio sources:
β€’ Speech synthesizer
β€’ Google Dictionary Pronunciations

All audio sources have β€œautoplay” feature.
Expect more sources in future updates.

βš™οΈ Languages

Results can be requested in multiple languages at once according to your preferences, and displayed in specific order. When there's no info in most preferable to you language, results in the next preferable language will be displayed automatically. You can also switch between languages manually for every single search result.

βš™οΈ Appearance

Customize the look of the extension, including bubble, options app, and popup window. Choose one of predefined themes or create your own with the built-in Theme Editor. Automatically switch between themes based on the time on your computer using scheduling feature.

━━━

Popup window opens when you click the extension's icon. It enables you to:

πŸ” Search by typing the query instead of selecting it on a page.

βœ”οΈ/❌ Toggle bubble activation behavior for currently opened domains and pages without manually writing URL rules.

🎨 Toggle themes and schedules without opening options app.

━━━

πŸ“„ PDF Reader πŸ†•

Definer can’t work in most PDF viewers, so it comes bundled with its own integrated PDF Reader that will let you use the pop-up bubble on PDFs.
To open PDF reader: click on the Definer’s icon β†’ 3 vertical dots β†’ β€œPDF Reader”.

━━━

❗ Important

- The bubble will not work in tabs that were open prior to installation. After installing this extension, it's recommended to restart your browser.
- All extensions are disabled on Chrome Web Store, including this page. Don't try to get the pop-up bubble to work here, it won't function.

Fantastic extension! I love the contextual search in mobile Chrome (just long tap any word). Never undestood why it is not available in desktop Chrome. I was looking for something like it and was happy to find this extension, which gets *very* close. (You may want to mention that in the description to help people find it). Great job! Only downside: I would like to donate, but don't have crypto currency. Please provide a Paypal account. One suggestion: Please make the popup close on Esc key. That key press is hardwired in my spine and it is always a downer when it dosen't work.

Sleek and responsive, with shiny UI, highly customizable. Been using it for 2 day, so far so good. My only gripe, the *Google Dictionary Phonetics* option only provides BrE pronunciations, which I'm not a huge fan of. I would give it a 5 stars if AmE pronunciations are added in future.
