TODO:

  • Add styles to , to override native styles
  • Avoid using innerText; Improve traversal.
  • Improve word detection algorithm.
  • Improve article detection.
  • Implement options page to select word difficulty.
  • Limit annotated text width; Display full text on mouse over.
  • Procure a dictionary with difficulty level, (Dictionary.com).
  • Run content-script on page idle instead of relying on time-out.
  • Prevent subsequent definitions from showing.
  • Add extension to Opera & Firefox.
