User asked I listened. Dictionariez v6.4.1 added the option to show the selection bubble only when a modifier key (ie. Ctrl, Shift or Alt) is pressed. ✅🚀🎉

"Firstly, just want to say this is by far the best extension I've seen when it comes to finding definitions and enabling easy translations, so thank you for all that you do!"

What a lovely user! How would you usually respond to a feedback like this?

这个被“李老师不是你老师”钓鱼关了一年的,还在控诉“李老师”,反过来被“李老师”的粉丝当成公安冒充。当初我揭露“李老师”是钓鱼号时,此人可是作为“李老师”的粉丝来攻击我的。我能说活该吗?

The day after the Firefox release:
User: Great feature, but it breaks some sites. 😬
Me: Oh no 😱… Fixed it. Firefox had webcomponent compatibility issues on some websites, so I lazy-loaded it only to activate on user interaction. Now we are both happy again.✅

What the heck? Why are web components in Firefox so different from Chrome? You can’t even call class functions inside connectedCallback.
