Contextual Wiktionary is a Firefox web-extension that enables the user to search Wiktionary with the context menu or a pop-up. The Contextual Wiktionary extension uses the Unlicense license.
- Select a word and use the context-menu to search, or just use the add-on's search bar.
- Use and contribute to the world's largest open dictionary.
- Seamlessly tangent through definitions with embedded links and a search bar that lets you quickly learn what you're looking for.
- A self-contained design avoids build-up of tabs, though an external link button lets you view definitions in a new tab.
- View English definitions for non-English words.
- Minimal support for non-English Wiktionaries (due to API limitations).
- Themed for both light and dark modes*, the add-on is designed to integrate** easily with Firefox' design.
*updated Firefox Proton designs coming soon (Proton design specifications have yet to be released to my knowledge, but a Proton-like dark imitation theme is featured in the add-on). **due to API limitations, only the English Wiktionary is themed.
This extension requires Firefox 57.
