English Dictionary by bassame

Quickly look up any English word — no unnecessary permissions required!
Simply highlight a word and press Ctrl+Shift+Q to open a popup with its definition.
Fast, easy, and non-intrusive dictionary access whenever you need it.

Permissions Explanation:

Access your data for api.dictionaryapi.dev – This is required only to send the highlighted word to the dictionary API and retrieve its definition. No other data is collected.

Access browser tabs – This is needed to create a temporary tab containing the definition for convenient viewing.

Why this extension exists:
I’m not a professional developer; I created this extension for personal use because most dictionary extensions request access to all your browsing data. This extension is designed to be minimal and privacy-friendly:

You highlight a word.

The word is sent only to api.dictionaryapi.dev.

A temporary tab is created showing the definition.

No tracking. No intrusive permissions. Just a simple, on-demand English dictionary.
