The extension is top notch. It's great for displaying information very quickly, and it still works great with the right browser (I'm using Vivaldi). I just hope it gets updated for manifest v3
very helpful edit.: doesn't seem to work now
It just doesn’t work at all.

Excellent extension, aside one really irritating behavior — can you filter out one-letter length selections? It is really bugs and annoys me, when I accidentally selects single letter, because of mouse shakes while click button or link, and I see popup from Wikipedia about «Z - latest letter in the alphabet blablabla»...

Just Fvking AWESOME dude. Been searching for this kind extension loooooooooong time, this is the very first one can "explain or search that highlighted word for me, NOT in new tab/new window, just a pop up" You know what, if this little cute can do things more than "showing the result of wikiSearch", I mean something like "show the google/bing search result of the highlight word" or support multi language search (means I dont need to switch to the specific language, it can search both Eng and Chs,), I'll pay 10 bucks for that.

1. Sometimes it just doesn't work for some words like tiger and cat. 2. The Chinese language contains Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. These is only Chinese in the option, which in fact is the latter one. 3. Sometimes when I select some words, the card display the disambiguation page, and I cannot choose one of the meanings.
