Dictionary.com extension for Google Chrome! Example gif

What is this?

  • This is an updated version of one of my long time favorite extensions for Google Chrome.
  • The original version released by the Dictionary.com is old and no longer updated, meaning it is not supported by many modern versions of Google Chrome (as of September 19, 2017).
  • The purpose of this project is to update it to Manifest version 2.0, that way I can use it on my Linux desktop at home.
  • The current "official" release can be found here, but won't show up if you search for it, because it is too old.

Installation

  • Anyone can install this extension to a compatible version of Google Chrome with the following steps.

Steps

  • Clone or download this repository.
  • In Google Chrome, navigate to "chrome://extensions"
  • Make sure the checkbox for "Developer Mode" is checked in the top right.
  • Click "Load unpacked extension," then select the Dictionary_com_extension folder from wherever you saved it on your computer.
  • You are good to go! You can set custom options for definition popup menus, but the coveted right click functionality will work right away.
