<![CDATA[What happened to "Right Click: (word) > Look Up" when you want to define a word?]]>This action is one of my favorites and i have been using it for as long as I can remember when I run across a word I am not sure about or if I am not sure I am using a specific word correctly in a sentence I am trying.
It works on Safari, Chrome and others. But it appears that Opera and Opera GX have a customized altered right click from the macOS default one. Which in return removed the "Right Click: (word) > Look Up = Definition"

How do I get this back, or is there an extension that will duplicate this same exact action in Opera?

Thank you!

It is much faster with Aria. Less clicks. All you have to do is highlight the word, or a sentence, the popup will come and Aria will "explain briefly." 🙂

To get that you need to use Safari.
But, in Opera, you can get this, Screenshot 2023-09-14 at 08.58.37.jpg

Anyway, Opera's Aria is quite good at "looking up the words" 🙂

You mean this?Screenshot 2023-09-12 at 17.41.47.jpg

If you click Explain briefly, Explore topic, Aria will come out and give you a reply. Or you'd get a translation, if that's what you want.

I was having the same problem and came across this posting. When I realized I wasn't alone, I looked into other options besides waiting for Opera to fix the problem.

On my install, at least, I can still select a word on screen and use cmd-ctl-D to look up the word in the dictionary. Problem solved!

I hope this works for everyone else.

I grew so accustom to having it with Opera, that it irritates my multiple times a day now. Please bring this feature back, Now. This works with every other browser that I have checked on my Mac, and it worked with Opera until just the latest update a few weeks ago.

It used to work in Opera, too, until the most recent update.

I just updated Opera and it is no longer in the menu options. I use this all of the time. It still works in all my other applications, just not Opera. This might be a deal breaker for me as far as choosing a browser is concerned.

Can we request the developers to being this action back to Opera One for macOS?

On Windows, Opera Chromium never had such thing.
