Users appreciate the extension's convenience in accessing multiple dictionaries and thesaurus resources via the right-click menu, which supports language learning and writing tasks. However, common issues include some dictionaries not functioning, lack of a direct search feature, and the opening of definitions in new windows or tabs rather than inline popups. Users also find the menu options overwhelming and desire more streamlined navigation and customization. Occasional stability problems causing the extension to uninstall itself have also been reported.
