    I recently took a detour to develop an intriguing tool for Chrome's side panel, which is an impressive new feature in Chrome that I believe many people will find it quite useful. In some cases, it could even be more straightforward and convenient compared to Dictionariez, which uses a popup window to display results. SidePal is designed to work seamlessly within the side panel, showing dictionaries that integrate perfectly with this feature.

    Here is how it looks.

    It's works well with Google Translate too.

    Isn't it handy to have ChatGPT on the sideline ready to answer any questions from you?

    Unfortunately, not all web dictionaries work in the side panel because they need to be embedded in an iframe, and some websites don't allow this. For example, my favorite dictionary, Longman English, doesn’t support iframe embedding.

    You can still try adding more dictionaries to your collection from this site, just as you would with Dictionariez. If you receive a warning that the dictionary couldn’t be loaded, it means it’s not supported on SidePal, so I recommend using Dictionariez instead.

    In this sense, SidePal is a lighter version of Dictionariez. It has its own advantages and can be used alongside Dictionariez. I hope you find it useful.

      Is SidePal meant to be Dark-Theme only (black background)?

          No, actually it's according to your system preference.
          Only if your Browser is in dark mode, then both SidePal and Dictionariez are in the dark theme.

            my default OS theme is dark, and the browser's theme is light. it looks the same

            I switched my default OS dark theme to light, closed the browser, reopened the browser and it is the same

              @Oleg-Lapchynskyi Aha, is it edge?

              I tested Chrome and Edge on my windows. They both work as intended.
              I will try more.
