*PS- Update to latest version 1.5 to have a bug-free experience*
Let’s you quickly search definitions of words on urbandictionary.com. Just click on the icon(should be seen near the address bar) and a popup appears where the word can be entered and the top definition(s) and corresponding usage(s) are loaded into the popup.There is also a link to the corresponding page on urbandictionary.com for detailed definition(s) and usags(s) of the entered word.
There are 3 ways in which you can search for a word on urban dictionary using this extension:
1. Click on the popup and enter the search query.
2. Select the word you want to look up and press the extension icon to load the results in the popup.
3. Rightclick after the word selection, you should see an option in the context menu that says “Search (whatever word you selected) on Urban dictionary. Clicking on that item, opens up the urban dictionary link for that word definition in a new tab.
*Of course,you can always use the omnibox search functionality provided by urbandictionary.com itself. Just type in “urbandictionary.com” and press the “Tab” key. You should be able to search for words directly from the search bar then.
PS: If you are on an older version, please update to the latest version 1.3 to resolve the popup bug i.e getting an error in the popup on every search.
Enjoy using the extension 🙂
Changelog
===========
I need to update the extension whenever the guys @ urbandicitonary update their website. If you feel that they have and the extension isn’t working for you, it’ll be a big help if you report the bug which will help me track it down and keep providing you a pleasant experience 🙂
version 0.1.0.0 – Fixed bug where the popup gave an error that “Your internet might be down or the *term* is not defined yet”.
version 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 – The web page @ urbandictionary.com got revamped. I have updated the extension to take care of the changes pushed.
version 1.4 – Yahoo scrapped the search tool I employed for the extension and I have updated it to obviate the issue.
version 1.5 – Shifted to a stable API for fetching definitions from Urban dictionary.
I use it on my school computer, it used to work even though the actual website is blocked, but now the little pacman loading thing is there and it wont stop loading.
It takes forever to load
it doesn’t works no more!!!!!
I remember using this in 6th and 7th grade but now that I have another computer when I look something up it just loads forever. How do I fix this
it wont load
its not working
ótima extensão para aprender inglês.
search golf, it is true
I love it! its sooooo awesome,and funny…I put love in, and i got this
“nature’s way of tricking people into reproducing”!!!!!
It’s a must have.
doesnt work
Do we really need an extension to use a website? Not really. Adds a context menu entry, ok , so what. There are other search tools that add far more functionality to the context menu and are not limited to one search engine. Simply a waste of time.
cant uderstand the translation, sorry
it works, however, it has problems with apostrophes and those types of symbols… they dont show up correctly, but a bunch of stuff like “'” instead
Simple and useful extension I was looking for.
(Tested Aug. 31st 2015)
The extension’s User Interface is by far the best one out of all the ext. for Urban Dictionary. It does not create a new tab while searching for the definition which allows the user to keep reading seamlessly. Sadly, it does not work anymore as of the tested date.
ISSUE:
It does not fetch any definitions and says: Your internet might be down or *_____* is not defined yet 🙁
Hopefully, the developer gives us an update.
doesn’t work
Not able to define anything.
it made my sad, unhealthy, internet life much easier..
simple and it works
Great!
not working, only respond “Your internet might be down or Jew Up is not defined yet :(” all the time
Awesome extension to quickly get meanings.
