The internet is a melting pot of languages, which makes a Dictionary (+ thesarus) a handy tool for netizens. The browser extension resulting from this supports:
- Showing the varying definitions of the given word in different contexts.
- Pronounciation guide in audio format.
- Real-world usages of the word in sentences.
- Complex words used in the definition are hyperlinked.
- Support for all the major languages of the world from Arabic to German.
- A thesarus of synonyms and antonyms.
Under the hood, the extension is using Google’s dictionary API, which in turn integrates with major dictionary providers around the world like Oxford. I estimate that there are over a 100 dictionary extensions on the Chrome Webstore, and I hope this is the alternative you’re looking for.
