## About

ftak is a free Chrome extension for looking up words while you read. Double-click or drag over any word or phrase and a small tooltip shows its meaning grouped by part of speech, a short summary from Wikipedia, and a map preview when it's a place. Click away and it closes.

There are no new tabs to open and no sign-up. The site also has a PDF reader where you can look up words inside a PDF the same way. For UPSC aspirants, it can show related previous-year UPSC questions for text you select in news articles; a few are free each day, more after signing in.
