Right-click dictionary

Turn on "Right-click a highlighted word for its definition" in the popup (Highlighter section), then right-click any highlighted word — a small card shows the word, its pronunciation, and a few definitions.

It's off by default. When on, it's the only network request the extension makes: that one word goes to the free, keyless api.dictionaryapi.dev — no page URL, no other text, no cookies. Definitions are cached in memory for the page you're on. The popup spells this out before you enable it, and PRIVACY.md has the full disclosure.

Esc or clicking away dismisses the card.

The Android app's tools panel gets a matching "Dictionary" toggle (long-press a highlighted word on mobile).
