This extension that allows you to quickly look up definitions of words and phrases in a clean inline box. The definitions come from Wiktionary, but have been preprocessed to reduce formatting and provide faster lookup. Hold a modifier key (Alt on Windows, Command on Mac, Ctrl on Linux) and double-click or select any word to look it up - an inline box will open to the dictionary entry of that word, usually including examples, audio pronunciation and synonyms.
You can also lookup manually-entered queries using a shortcut which displays a small query form.
NOTES:
1. After installing, pages already open will not work for looking up - just refresh them and it'll be solved.
2. The Chrome Extensions Gallery pages don't allow lookup (or any on-page extensions) for security reasons.
3. This extension does not add a toolbar icon.

Reviews of dictionary lookup:
It is all good, but there is something irritating for me. It is common for me to lookup a new word but there are some unknown new words in the definition itself, so I double click on those words but the definition box reopens above the current definition box. I will end up scrolling up a couple of times so I lose the position of the original unknown words. I would prefer much if the new definition box opened in the same position where the last one is open.
The dictionary itself is great but the words that show phonetic spelling are scarce despite the Wiktionary page having them available and also it doesn't specifies the accent of each spelling which is really confusing
One of the best dictionaries available. Able to look up older Archaic words and such found in the Bible Thanks!
