Google Dictionary
Google Dictionary is an online dictionary service provided by Google that allows you to look up definitions of words directly through Google's search interface.
When you search for a word definition (like "define: example"), Google displays comprehensive dictionary information at the top of search results. This feature pulls data from respected sources including Oxford Languages to provide definitions, pronunciations, etymology, and usage examples.
With Definer, these dictionary results are seamlessly integrated into the popup bubble, removing the need to switch between tabs or interrupt your reading flow.
