- (2025-06-29) Abdul Samad Basit: I recently started reading online books and it was difficult for me to get to know the meaning of certain words. Like copying the word, change the tab and then google it back etc. But this extension made it easy for me. I just need to right click on word to find its meaning and now I can continue without breaking my rhythm. At first, I thought I am downloading a malware but thank God it's totally okay. All thanks to Developer!
