doesnt show examples of words used in context which would help with understanding the meanings of words more effectively & better

heaven sent·28 Jul 2026

Google Dictionary's extension works on far less words and terms (ime) in comparison to Good Word Guide (GWG) / Instant Dictionary since GWG uses multiple sources instead of just their (Instant) dictionary (e.g., for certain terms, an excerpt and link to Wikipedia's page on the term might be what comes up), whereas Google Dictionary's extension likely won't have anything for it. One thing I do however like more about Google's is how you can double click any word that's in their definitions, and it will take you to THAT word's definition (the same way both extensions work on whatever website you're on). With the definition that pops up when you double click a word using Instant Dictionary, double-clicking another word in that definition WON'T then take you to that word's definition the way the Google Dictionary extension does. Instant Dictionary does at least include hyperlinked synonyms that take you to each one's definition. Also, with Instant Dictionary, it isn't ideal compared to the way Google Dictionary is, but you can at least highlight a word (i.e., drag cursor method or double click), right click it, then left click "Search dictionary for" and it will take you to the GWG dictionary full page with the definition (not the small popup box). It's much smoother with Google Dictionary. I also wish Instant Dictionary offered pronunciation for everything. Given that AI exists, I partially feel like it should... I would gladly add a star or two to my rating if either improvement is made.
