Pros: + Opens a small over-the-page window for quick word lookup Cons: - The treasure is limited, so it doesn't find or define all words - Made by developers for developers. Hear me out: After a while, it stopped working, saying I needed to put in an "API key," with no further information provided. So, I went searching.
