Is Lookup Definitions Online safe?
Lookup Definitions Online sends selected page text to dictionary sites when you use its context-menu lookup.
When you highlight text on a webpage and choose one of the extension's lookup menu items, it appends the selected text to a dictionary search URL. The resulting dictionary page is opened in an injected popup iframe, so the selected word or phrase is sent to the chosen dictionary provider.
