Merriam Webster Dictionary

With this extension, you would be able to look up and get the English-to-English definition of any word or phrase in the content of a website simply and effortlessly. Or you can use its simple search box to type and get the definition right away, without losing your focus on the content! It is a free face for Merriam-Webster's dictionary services, like a light version of MW's original website. It keeps track of your search history and so you can always review your previous searches. You can also open the main definition page of a word/phrase on Merriam-Webster's website using the in-content button, this functionality is adjustable on the options. You can also set the option to pause the video playing in the content (if any) when the search box is opened and replay it when the search box is closed. It might save you some time and you would not lose the content of the video while looking up a definition. This extension uses Merriam-Webster's free services. You'll need your personal API key to put it in the extension options to be able to use it. Please read the introduction on the options page after installation. Additionally, to make it easy to get your personal API key, you may find some manipulations on the `dictionaryapi` website, feel free to use them. :) For your information: - My personal API options are set by default to make it simple for you to test the functionality of the extension. Just keep in mind you can only get 20 definitions with the default API key, so it's a good idea to get your API key soon ;) - This extension is hastily developed for personal uses so don't be shy to give any constructive feedback to improve it. :) v1.11 Grateful to: https://www.merriam-webster.com/ https://dictionaryapi.com/
