What's New in v7.2.0:
✨ Cleaner Vocabulary List – Removed cluttered translations from the word list. Definitions appear only in the popup when you first look them up, keeping your vocabulary list clean and focused on context.
🛠️ Rock-Solid Stability – Fixed multiple crashes: word deletion errors, extension reload issues, DOM parsing in background scripts, and message channel failures. The extension now handles edge cases gracefully.
🎯 Smarter Saving – Words are only saved when a valid translation is found. No more empty entries or "word-as-meaning" pollution in your vocabulary list.
🌍 Better Language Detection – Automatically skips same-language lookups (e.g., English page → English target) to avoid useless saves. Added language configuration reminders for double-click mode.
📚 Study Mode – Built-in SM-2 spaced repetition flashcards (Again/Hard/Good/Easy) with review scheduling, streak tracking, and keyboard shortcuts.
