Overview
Highlight any word to instantly see its definition.
Glimpse gives you instant word definitions without ever leaving the page you're reading. Simply highlight any word and a clean, non-intrusive popup appears with: • Definitions — clear, concise meanings organized by part of speech • Phonetic transcription — so you know how it's pronounced • Audio pronunciation — hear the word spoken aloud with one click • Usage examples — see the word used in context Why Glimpse? • Zero friction — no clicks, no toolbar buttons, just highlight and go • On/off anytime — pause Glimpse in one click from the toolbar icon, no digging through Chrome's extension settings • Dark & light themes — choose your preferred look; your choice syncs across devices • Lightweight — no bloat, no tracking, no account required • Stays out of your way — dismiss with Escape, a click, or just keep reading Powered by the Free Dictionary API. Open source at github.com/jawuanlewis/glimpse-ext Glimpse is free, private, and collects no user data. Note: after installing (or updating), refresh any tabs that were already open — Glimpse only activates on tabs loaded after install.
