Why in new version of Edge 120.0.2210.144 the option 'define' the selected word disappeared?
It was very useful.

Thank you very much for the advice. I installed the extension and it’s working perfectly. It took a while to figure out how to open it in a new tab instead of opening in a new window or the same window.

Hey, but you got the slower, inferior "Ask Copilot" to replace it!

Using Copilot to check definitions might be a bit overkill instead of using a dictionary. I wonder why MS removed it. It was working perfectly without any additional extensions.
