Love the simplicity, @kahtaf :) Are you planning on a way to get information from multiple sources? Like it'd be cool if it searched technical terms from Wolfram Alpha and if I highlight a name of a song, it'd fetch me the lyrics from Genius etc. I can see that being a tool many would want to use!
Kahtaf Alam
@amrith Thank you! That's a great idea! I will certainly look into that for a future version :)

I enjoy the extension so far. Would you consider adding an option that removes the automatic pop-up in replace of a right-click action?
Kahtaf Alam
@kaliahaze1 Thanks for your suggestion. Seems like a very reasonable feature, I will look into it!

This feature is in the Kindle for ipad and I find it extremely useful when reading history books, so having this on a web page is one better
