Reviews of rikaikun:
This extension is perfect but I notice some bugs: 1. It gets on the way whatever japanese text I am typing exp when the cursor is near the text 2. It often turns on the "hide definitions and show only reading" by itself. It's not like there is shortcut to it, right??
Love the app. but keyboard shortcut without clicking the icon would be super useful. Thank you.
Good for reading difficult Japanese words on the fly, but not that great for studying to put words into your long-term memory because there is no integration with Anki (AnkiConnect). If you can add Anki integration I would use this over Yomichan since the popup design is prettier.
