Browser extension

Search the Suttas and look words up in the Pali Digital Dictionary (DPD) on any website: select a word or phrase (or just click on a word) and the extension shows the translation/dictionary entry right there, without leaving the page — or sends the selected text to search on Dhamma.gift via the right-click context menu. Toggle it on/off by clicking the extension's icon or with a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+L by default, changeable in your browser's settings).

Mock-up, not a screenshot

The pop-up above isn't a real screenshot of the extension (an extension can't be embedded as an <iframe>, unlike the other examples in this docs section) — it's a mock-up built from the extension's own real colors and look (dictPlugin/.../content.js: background #E1EBED/ #07021D, border-radius: 8px, red close button rgba(206,5,32,...)). A real screenshot can replace it at any time.
