The Dictionary.com extension is distinct from Dictionary.com’s app for Chrome which merely opens a Web page. The extension lets you double-click on any word, on any Web
page, to see the definition in a pop-up box — or you can enter the word in a search box. Both are fast ways to look up words, and are infinitely superior to having to launch a tab and flip between dictionary tab and text that you’re reading.
Options include supplying synonyms, and moving pop-up positions within the Web page.
