Review Summary
The Cambridge Dictionary Lookup Chrome extension is praised for its accurate and detailed definitions, ease of use, helpful pronunciation features, and convenient popup interface that does not disrupt workflow. However, users frequently mention the lack of automatic popup on text selection, absence of hotkey support, opening search results in new tabs rather than one window, no customization options (like default dictionary choice), and issues with closing old popup windows as the main drawbacks.

Cons
- No option for automatic pop-up on text selection; requires manual action.
