SO grateful, so enriching, so easy to navigate... Precision, subtle nuances explained. The BEST!

I like that The Free Dictionary draws its definitions and information from so many different sources. This helps me know I am using precisely the right words to convey my meaning when writing. I also like the thesaurus, which helps ensure my writing isn't boring, and the legal and medical dictionaries which help me not sound like too big of an idiot when I write about these complex subjects.

You double-click a word, right click, and select TheFreeDictionary to open up another tab to the definition. You can also click the extension and type in a word, it will open TheFreeDictionary in another tab as well. Nice, clean, simple, thanks.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

TheFreeDictionary.com Extension does not require any sensitive permissions.

    Risk likelihood
    Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

    TheFreeDictionary.com Extension has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
