"Poptionary" is a popup dictionary, enables the user to access a variety of dictionaries by selecting words in various ways (clicking, hotkey) opening the dictionaries in iframes, or new windows.

=======================================
Attention!:
Since this extension opens popups, some adblockers / popupblockers might disable it. If it doesn't work, try turning off adblock, or restart the extension.
=======================================
Installation process:
1) Download the extension
2) pin the extension to the top of your browser (you need to interact with the popup)
3) restart the browser, or in the very least reload the page you want to use the app on
4) navigate to a website with texts/articles in your target language
5) open the popup, and make your selections (either selection-lookup, or hotkey-lookup, either as popup or as a tab).
6) if you keep the popup open while using the app the popup will update for new selections, meaning you can look up many words quickly.

Reviews of poptionary - dynamic popup dictionary:
This is pretty useful, thanks a lot, but I wanted to make more smaller the iframe size. If it was, it would be perfect.
Iframe goes above the top border of the page when selecting a word near the top of the page, meaning you have to scroll up to see the definition. But other than that it works well, and if they could fix that one issue, this would be a full 5 stars.
sometimes [iframe] popup goes beyond top border of the page (in this case e.g. marriam-webster(en)'s search button and search box can not be used, but that doesn't matter because the main content can still be seen); [popup] popup and [tab] popup works fine.
