Hi Rui, thanks for the reply,

I know both Chrome and IExplorer support also extensions, but perhaps
we need to await for a long time until we have a big variety of them,
similar to Firefox, which is currently leading in this field, and as
far as I know, for a wide margin.

That's a good point in favor of Dictionary.com and good for us :)

About pronunciation of texts on web pages, I've been trying these add-
ons: foxlite, foxvox, foxvox2 an myvocal.  The first three are from
the same author. I think I will stick to foxvox because it works off-
line, although the quality of the voice is not the best.

Thank you,

Pablo
