ftak
Word meanings, summaries and maps in a Chrome tooltip
About ftak
ftak is a free Chrome extension for readers who want quick context without leaving the page they are on. Select a word or phrase on any site and a small tooltip shows its meaning, a short summary drawn from Wikipedia, and a map preview when the selection is a place name.
It suits anyone who reads online and keeps stopping to open new tabs for definitions or background, including students and people reading news or research. A built-in PDF reader lets users look up words inside PDF documents in the same way, directly in the browser.
What sets ftak apart is that everything happens in place. The tooltip closes when you click away, so there are no tabs to manage and no copy-pasting into a search box. The extension is free and needs no sign-up to start using it.
