Okay. but I don't want a new tab to see the definition.
I can find here many words that I cannot find in any other dictionary
The worst extension I've ever seen. I use web extension as a shortcut to look up words by double-clicking them and to get a list of definitions without taking a new tab on my chrome. Unluckily, the free dictionary regarded as the best one for me fail to perform this function for user-friendly's sake. So....., NO THANKS! Strongly suggest to update the version for the convenience of the users.
TheFreeDictionary.com is great and their extension is cool too. Good job Farlex.
I've had the extension for a while now and it's been fantastic. Highlight the 'word' and click on the Icon in the tool bar. It doesn't get much easier than that.
Almost perfect, but an additional settable text bubble popup option would be very useful.
It's very good and useful! I love the convenience!
The most valuable tool on your browser
I want to have a pop up window with a definition, not a separate page.
Double-click on a word and OPEN A NEW WINDOW? No thanks.
I love it since I begin learn English. I Love Farlex ^^
This works great, and with the a keyboard shortcut assigned, it's even faster than opening a new tab and searching Google for definitions, which no longer serves results from the Free Dictionary among the top search results anyway. I'm glad I thought to look for this extension and that someone thought to create it in the first place!
Have it for my Iphone and love it.
No longer works with AdBlock enabled as of April 2017.
je fait comme tous le monde ils ont certainement raison
very very useful.
MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY MY THANK YOU TO FARLEX MY BEST GUARDIAN ANGEL FOR WATCHING ME MORE THAN I LEARN FROM U <3 3ug3n3 l33
The word definition is great. But I prefer on-screen pop up. That's perfect if this extension has 2 interface options: pop up & new window.
extension fiable
Thank you!good day.
C'est très utile
wonnnderful
love this dictionary."It is much more elaborate and quicker than many others I have seen. It has everything a person would desire from a dictionary includes thesaurus too a dictionary with everything rolled into one.This actually is dictionary.com application...cool.
I like it because it opens a new window. An option to make an on-screen pop up would be okay I guess, but I like to use the thesaurus too, so I like being directed to the website. It's easier to bounce around different words and definitions. I don't personally need to consult the dictionary enough to justify needing on-screen popups. You also get a better definition this way; you have multiple definitions rather than just the one the pop up gives you, which means you can't be given one that's out of context.
muy buen diccionario
The Chrome extension of TheFreeDictionary.com is wonderful. Saves the time spent to open the dictionary in a new tab while reading web pages.
New tab on every click, seriously? This is 2015 for god sake.
Buenìsimo, fabuloso, excelente...
Great
I am a personal supporter of The Free Dictionary.
If its possible to just give the definition on pop up or something, it would be more great. Sometimes opening definitions on many new tabs are annoying.
