Older versions
Version 1.6.0
Released Aug 27, 2026 - 115.63 KBWorks with firefox 109.0 and laterFixed: double-clicking a word on a page did nothing until you had used the right-click menu on that page first. Double-click lookup now works as soon as you turn it on.
Site access is now opt-in. Installing no longer asks for access to all websites. Dejavu asks for it only when you enable double-click lookup, and you can revoke it at any time.
New: a "Go to Dejavu Web App" and a "How to use" link in the popup; the how-to page also opens once after installing.
Improved: shorter right-click menu ("Dejavu English"); the search direction now shows your real languages (e.g. "Eng -> Tur") instead of "My native language"; "Save to notebook" sits at the top of the result and stays visible while you scroll; if you type the sentence a word appears in, you now also get the meaning for that context, a translation of the sentence and text-to-speech for it.Source code released under All Rights Reserved

already looked up. Can be turned off in the popup.

notebook, or extract the words worth looking up.

the context — and the sentence is saved together with the word.

dictionary between English and 12 languages.
