Wikipedia Lookup - Browser Action
Description from store

WARNING: Wikipedia Lookup doesn't work on pages opened before the installation.

Select the word(s) you want to look up on Wikipedia, and click the icon in the toolbar.

By default, Wikipedia Lookup auto-detects the language of the page and loads the corresponding version of Wikipedia. You can turn this feature off in the options.

Inside the popup click the green corner to open the full version of Wikipedia in a new tab. It will load the first url you visited. It's a bug but I can't easily fix it.

To access the options, right-click the icon.

You can assign a keyboard shortcut to Wikipedia Lookup: chrome://extensions/shortcuts

I never write chrome extension reviews but this is hands down the best extension I've ever downloaded and I use it more than any other extension (except maybe Power Thesaurus, but I have a few issues with that one) I often have too many tabs open (ADHD baby), so being able to highlight something and find more info on it WITHOUT right clicking the "search google for ___" to open it in a new tab, but instead being able to have the info open without leaving the tab or website I'm currently on? Game-changing. It's helpful both for specific knowledge (elaborating on a concept in an informative article) or just basic stuff like what a celebrity looks like and what show/movie I've seen them in. I also appreciate that you can hold over hyperlinked text in the article and it'll still pop up the same info like it would in a normal wiki page. Wiktionary being incorporated into the extension is also a bonus. 10/10, highly recommend.

Hello, C'est évidemment une extension bien utile. Merci. Ce que je regrette (: 4/5) c'est l'impossibilité de voir la langue active dans l'extension (sauf d'aller dans les options). Cordialement.

A keyboard shortcut or context menu option would be easier to use than the button, which requires a lot of moving the cursor back and forth. The popup also closes as soon as you click outside of it, which makes switching back and forth awkward. Finally, the text inside the popup is full sized, which limits the amount of information you can quickly scan without scrolling. I found this extension less useful than simply opening a new tab.

Срочно нужно интегрировать в контекстное меню или сделать всплывающую кнопку при выделении текста! А само окошко разместить в центре экрана и не такое большое. Спасибо!

GENIAL. Estuve un rato buscando algo asi. gracias.

This is pure genius.

Just cos there are only a few user that have this doesn't mean it's not the best thing available. I actually got the developer to put it back up after he deleted it, or updated to a slightly different spec. it works perfectly, and is super useful.
