DictionaryTip - Define Words in Chrome

Enhance Your Browsing with DictionaryTip for Chrome

Do you frequently require a dictionary or thesaurus while online, but find the process of opening a new tab disruptive? The DictionaryTip extension for Chrome offers a streamlined solution, providing quick and convenient access without leaving your current page.

DictionaryTip: A Practical Demonstration

For this demonstration, we utilized the extension’s default settings and mouse-based activation. To begin, simply position your cursor over the desired word, as illustrated below…

A double-click will highlight the selected word. Observe the small icon that appears directly beneath the highlighted term; this icon opens the “Popup Reference Window” when hovered over.
