This extension replaces certain English nouns on a webpage with their Russian equivalents.

This is a simple extension to help you expand your Russian vocabulary. Once installed, the extension will automatically scan every website you visit for English-Russian pairs in its dictionary (currently contains over 800 word pairs) and swap in the Russian translations.

If a Russian word is giving you trouble, you can easily highlight it and right-click to have the English translation listed for you. You can also open up the extension menu to see the entire dictionary of words for that page, along with information on word gender and number. Extension settings allow you to change the density and difficulty of the Russian words used.

Sometimes you might want to quickly read a page in English if the Russian words are giving you trouble: simply press "Disable Once" in the extension's menu to switch the page back to the original English. Alternatively, if you want to prevent pages on a given website from ever being altered, just press "Disable Domain" in the extension menu.

The ONLY information stored by the extension is which sites you've chosen to disable it on. No ads, free forever, etc etc.

Version 1.6.1: minor bug-fixes with the right-click menu.

I like it, but it some quality of life changes could be made. Highlighting the words that are changed to Russian would be good for quickly finding them, and not having to highlight them manually in order to see their English translation would be ideal, though not necessary.

Really great idea for an app, could do with a bit of improving though. Some sort of choice over which words to convert in a dictionary and perhaps a frequency of changing them choice.

Otherwise, really fast and reliable, does as described!

It does what it says it does!

The original english words could be better viewed though.

Guys, this is very dangerous.
I understand that you have the best intentions but this thing here is very misleading. First of all, it translates words randomly, no context whatsoever, and often the meanings just do not match. Second, it can't tell a difference between a noun and a verb and just translates everything as nouns. And last but not least, Russian has such thing as cases. Seeing nouns in the sentences like that may seriously harm your Russian because you need to get used to seeing them in case forms and this extention doesn't provide that.
Developers, please, take this seriously. What you did can actually sabotage learners. I'm so sorry to say that but there is no way to sugar-coat it
P.S.: I am a native Russian and I have exprerience teaching Russian.
