Similarly, the New York Times intrusively assumes I want to "define" anything I select, even it’s lines long, breaking my normal browser behavior.
Edit: I triple-click to select paragraphs (an OS X idiom); the define-word script prevents this, recognizing not a triple-click but rather a double-click (select word) followed by a single click (activate definition pop-up).
- pjscott 16y agoI checked on Chrome, and NY Times only tries to define single words for me -- but when I de-select any text, the embedded video player (if any) reloads. Buggy.

- alanh 16y agoDoes it work everywhere? Last I checked, it doesn’t work in browser address bars, for example.
