Version 2.5.7
September 6, 2026
A reliability and speed update that keeps word lookups responsive when dictionary or translation services are slow or unavailable.
- Added bounded dictionary request timeouts and one retry for temporary lookup failures.
- Added Wiktionary as a fallback when DictionaryAPI.dev is unavailable or rate limited.
- Dictionary and translation requests now run concurrently, so either result can succeed independently.
- Dictionary or translation results now appear as soon as each provider responds.
- Improved messages for missing words, rate limits, timeouts, and provider outages.
- Increased the content-script response window to support bounded provider failover.
- Added dictionary source labels and provider timing diagnostics.
