I love the product and am still trying it out while learning Russian (very tempted to purchase a subscription, and it's sitting in my toolbar, which is a good reminder). A couple feedback things about the website because you seem to be receptive to it, after reading some of your comments in this thread:
The "loading" page was a bad first impression for me. It was super fast, and I wouldn't have minded at all if the page were loading "normally" during that time, but the fact that you put up a loading page reminded me of Flash sites and over-developed crap in the mid 2000's. It was odd, and not in a good way.
The site design, as another person pointed out, needs a little work. I know that you like serif fonts, and want it to feel "warm" and inviting and non-threatening, but you have to be really careful about piling too much on at once, especially when you're trying to promote how fantastic and slick the extension is :) The rabbit logo was a little childish. Rabbits connote "speed" books connote "learning" but the logo design itself didn't really make me say "Oh, super fast, slick, easy learning in a browser extension I should definitely download and trust with my personal data!" I put together an example of what might be improved (note: the logo here is just something random I found on Google images. Probably super duper copyrighted!) http://i.imgur.com/Ix7ubvR.png http://i.imgur.com/Ix7ubvR.png
Getting rid of some of the border-shadow/rounded corner stuff might help, as well. It looks a little out-of-date with modern design trends. Not saying you need a trendy site, but you probably want something a little more timeless :)
Also, adding a little more variations on the "green" theme could probably help. I really like this website for color palette inspirations: https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/ https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/
Loved the About page, the testimonials, and the obvious care that you had in the product. After exploring the site and installing the extension, it felt like a really cared-about (if that makes sense) well-maintained company and product. The fact that you had your personal address and mobile number there was awesome!
Not a designer, I'm a software engineer, so take my advice with a grain of salt!
