Questions
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan includes 150 lookups a day and 50 saved words, shared across every language. One Uberlang Pro plan removes the limits and adds export for every app and language.
Which websites does it work on?
Any normal website in Chrome: news, social media, web novels, forums. Chrome does not let extensions run on its own settings pages or the Chrome Web Store.
Does the Mac app support Japanese?
Not yet. The Mac and Windows apps support Chinese only. Japanese works in the Chrome extension.
Does it work in Edge or Brave?
Yes. Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store.
Does it send what I read to a server?
Dictionary lookups happen inside the extension. We only store your account email, usage counts for the free limits, and saved words if you turn on sync.
