To date I have generally used Firefox, but I wanted to try Chrome out a bit more and so I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good pop up dictionary. I just downloaded " Zhongwen: A Chinese-English Popup Dictionary"Extension:

At first glance it looks pretty good, but I was wondering how others have found it if they have used it and if there are any that are considered better. I have used Perapera on Firefox and it's been fine. Wondering how they compare.

Looks like it can do a fair bit look making word lists and exporting them to skritter or anki.

I really like Zhongwen pop-up dictionary, although I never used the shortcuts before. Thanks for the advice of saving to word lists. Now I can store them up then export them to Anki.
