-- CHANGELOG --
1.1.2 - 1/10/17 - minor changes to text. updated description. (note: the highlight-to-search feature may not work 100% of the time, we're working on fixing it. thanks for your patience!)
1.1.1 - 1/9/17 - changed color of like percentage to red if the definition has <50% likes.
1.1 - 1/9/17 - major bug fix: fixed bug where popup would not get selected text if page did not finish loading. popup should always be able to get selected text now. deleted unnecessary permissions. the extension should run faster now. if you see an error message it may most likely be a temporary internet disruption problem - try pressing the 'define' button again, or reload the page, or try again later.
1.0 - 1/9/17 - initial release
