- (2024-10-20) chew: [2024/10/21更新] 我自己重寫一個Google Dictionary但沒有Google Analytics的版本了,在這裡: https://github.com/Kishibe3/non-tracking-google-dictionary 注重隱私的人歡迎來用,我已經用了2年多了 可不可以不要在工具裡面還埋Google Analytics的追蹤碼啊? 我用hosts檔把google analytics等等追蹤用的網域都屏蔽掉,結果這個擴充套件就不能運作了,有夠沒用的。 這樣我還不如直接自己寫一個沒追蹤功能的Google Dictionary
- (2024-07-08) Michal Hlava: The extension wasn't working for over a year but now it's back to normal, love this. edit: never mind, it's not working anymore...
- (2023-11-09) Cold Foot: I really wished this extension could have worked for me, but it doesn't seem to search any dictionaries that include biological and medical terminology. It has potential to be so useful if users could search for or add field-specific dictionaries, or if there were an option to (at least) provide a definition of the Greek/Latin roots if a word isn't recognized. On the plus side, definitions were successfully provided during 25-30% of usage. But the experience has been more frustrating and significantly disappointing overall, to the point where I feel inclined to provide excessive feedback in a review.
- (2023-10-19) Trevor Hart: I like it, but for a few months, I've only seen "Searching..."
- (2023-10-14) Mohamed Abou Al Hagag: Thank you Google!
- (2023-09-20) Jer: Google Dictionary lacks an incredible number of words. Believe me there are many but the one which brought me to review was 'barometric'.. Although I already know the meaning of some of the words I look up, for those I am usually just curious to know the formal definitions. I am appalled at how many of these common words are not in Googles dictionary. The majority of words I lookup I genuinely do not know the meaning nor can Google provide one. These are most often words only used in a specialty field such as branches of science. While I am understanding and more forgiving toward most dictionaries omission of such entries, I would have otherwise assumed Google of all sources would fall above my standards. Surprisingly, Google in my experience is not above my standard but actually lower. Indeed I'm writing this review solely because I've had finally enough. I am now using the Oxford dictionary. It seems much more complete and I am happy. I figure there are at least a small number poeple whose use-cases are similar to mine. tldr - Simply put, extensions based on Google Dictionary do not have a large approx. number of definitions and I require more. However, I think most other people will be satisfied.
- (2023-09-18) Steve Deltora: 一直顯示searching...,根本不能用
- (2023-09-18) Nhi Hoàng: Gần đây tiện ích này không hoạt động, fix lại đi ạ
- (2023-09-17) Denys Galkin: уже неделю не работает. ничего не переводит. бесконечная загрузка
- (2023-09-17) Dmytro Alyabyev: Stopped working accidentally, see only "searching" every time
- (2023-09-14) William Rodriguez: It's good if you dont wanna go on google but its not 5 stars cuz you have to copy past instead of highlithing and right clicking and gettting the option to look it up
- (2023-09-12) Bruh Moment: it doesn't work for me. it's stuck on "searching" like others have said.
- (2023-09-02) Julian LaFreniere: Used to be amazing, but it hasn't worked for me for several months at least. The hot key you make to hold while you select or click a word/phrase no longer seems to do anything. That was how I used this. There a better extensions if I want to take the time to click on the actual extension every time I want a definition. Please update this. It's a simple extension so I don't imagine updating it isn't very complicated for those who know how, but it's been abandoned for a while now and I hate to see something that added real utility and flexibility to how I used the web, that should only needs a little TLC, to die. I would have given it five stars but it isn't useful to me anymore. I left three stars because when does still work if you manually click the extension to look up a word.
- (2023-08-23) Aviv Bar: Top !!
- (2023-08-18) raza khan: It is very good extention to get 5 stars but giving 3 stars only because it stucks on Searching... and sometime it works but most of the time doesn't work at all... I would love it fixed
- (2023-08-14) A. R. P: TAMIL language is missing.
- (2023-08-13) iLDarカルフィン: Audio pronounciation stopped working. Tried to reinstall - same. Besides that, the extension is pretty OK.
- (2023-08-12) Ryan West: This extension is completely useless so don't even waste your time. Such an embarrassingly trash extension coming from a company you would expect decent performance from. 0/5 Stars
- (2023-07-26) Nguyễn Quang Khải: Very Good
- (2023-07-21) Joshua Smith: I use this extension regularly and love it, but I'd love to see it updated with Material Design. It looks so outdated when used. Otherwise, love it!
- (2023-07-21) Dave Pettitt: WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS??? Like a ton of other recent users this extension stopped working months ago. I used it on a daily basis, but now it's so frustrating. Does it only not work for Mac users? Is this some kind of spat between google and apple? Figure it out!!
- (2023-07-19) Can Buyukbasaran (progCan): ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, WOULD GIVE 6 STARS IF I COULD. like i CAN NOT belive i was able to literally survive before installing this!!! i mean it solves the action of googling "hyporoperitimitiavomitivia meaning" which takes minutes!
- (2023-07-17) Jui-Ting Chien: Fantastic
- (2023-06-30) I203: doesn't work for PDFs
- (2023-06-28) Mohit: i really needed this extension like on chrome android i can select the text and a pop up will appear below with definition, it was really cool but this extension is not like that. it do not give the definition in popup instead it says to google it.
- (2023-06-19) Krishnendu Laha: Chrome is now such a dumb outdated browser. Needs an extension for every basic thing you would expect a modern browser to have. So dumb. It's like using a browser from the 90s
- (2023-05-26) Jacob Shirley: A simple yet must-have extension. Useful for both new words, and familiar words you need a precise definition for.
- (2023-05-15) DaDecky: it stops to work, stuck on searching
- (2023-05-11) Mario M: Stuck on "Searching..." Exhausted all possible solutions on resolving this with no avail.
- (2023-05-09) June J: It had been a quick easy dictionary at the convenience of just double clicking a word but lately it keeps getting stuck at loading. Clearing cache fixes it only for a short while then the error returns.
- (2023-05-04) Rodrigo Araguz: For me it works on Windows but not on Mac.
- (2023-04-26) 0nly_lxad: its just me but this extension searches for the word and takes a long as time so 1 star for me
- (2023-04-24) Andre Moriya: I love this extension. But in my opinion, it may have a way to save the words, something like Quizlet. Saving words may help me to improve my English and learn. :D
- (2023-04-22) Josie Jean: so ummm so i was sreaching up a word and it was case right but case but a diff meaning pls add more meaning. ty
- (2023-04-14) Sonny Buxton: It is great, but the on flaw is in that a word(for this, let's say the) will be voiced by a person and then the next word will be voiced by another person, making it hard to use
- (2023-04-01) AZ Y: "I like this application based on what I saw on YouTube, BUT THE POP-UP DOESN'T WORK NO MATTER WHAT. I have tried everything to make the pop-up work, including resetting Chrome, trying different configuration options, trying "None" and "Keys," etc. (Note: other dictionary extensions' pop-ups DO WORK.) Having to manually copy and paste words and not being able to access the fast pop-up feature is a big minus. I have seen many users criticize the same problem since at least February 2023. PLEASE PROVIDE A SOLUTION, as I would like to use your application as it has good voice lines for learning proper pronunciation

- (2023-01-12) radio xoxo: going to replace this extension with a better one. i understand that there are multiple definitions for certain words but i am often shown the least relevant or least used definition which is extremely frustrating and time wasting.
