Why Dictionariez does not recognize selected text in "reader" (focus) mode?

[Oleg Lapchynskyi]

I tested several extensions of "Reader View" category, and any of the tested plugins renders Dictionariez incapable of recognizing the selected text.
readline https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/readline/lgooahonadmfehgfgjdeffmhfndpklpa
reader-view https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/reader-view/lpmbefndcmjoaepdpgmoonafikcalmnf
easyview-reader-view https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/easyview-reader-view/nliopidpecelaedknfeanmkanoabfahi

All tested plugins, obviously, rely on a same shared component.

They include identical toolbar and notifications.

Is there some setting I should change?

Thank you. I am definitely gonna look into it.

Turns out those Reader extensions open the article in their own extension space in which other extensions including Dictionariez couldn't have access to.

So no easy way to solve this, unless I provide my own Reader view. But hey, you can still right-click on the word and look it up through the context-menu, right?

I was in the same boat and after searching I found this extension:

• ReadBee (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/text-mode-for-websites-re/phjbepamfhjgjdgmbhmfflhnlohldchb)

It uses a different format to transform the page and thus both Dictionariez and SidePal can access the text.
