Really helpful for me

Nothing fancy, just lets you get the definition without having to go to the home page first. A nice addition to the best etymology dictionary.

Ok . I did not think the related word box was that helpful and pulling up the etymology of a word can be confusing with all the red pop-ups . Also the ads are annoying when they pop up out of no where ! LOL !?????

Pretty helpful extension, especially for building a good vocab.

This extension only acts as a shortcut to the website itself. But since I catalogue a lot of words as 3-4 character-length abbreviations, due to my heavy academic and industry interests, I use this website frequently. Therefore, the few seconds it saves over creating a new tab and searching the words manually is worth it.

Use it every day. Almost indispensable.

What a beautiful website, an extension, an idea! Thank you a lot.

Takes you to a website instead of keeping it within the extension. And despite how fast it is I don't appreciate having another tab opened

It works, but what's the point? It opens the result in a new tab rather than inside the extension popup (like e.g. Black Menu for Wikipedia does), so it's no more convenient than opening a new tab and using the search shortcut I've set up (and that's a built-in Chrome feature, no extension needed). I'm actually looking for an extension that will do the Black Menu thing (i.e. let me search and view the results all within the extension popup) for arbitrary websites, specifically so I can set up said extension to search Etymonline.

This extension is Straight Forward; type a word in the search box, press enter, and it pulls up the etymology of that word in a new tab on etymonline.com. I have had no bad experience with having this extension, no virus, malware, ads, etc.
