Yomichan for Chrome

Yomichan for Chrome turns your browser into a tool for building Japanese language literacy by helping you to decipher texts which would be otherwise too difficult tackle. This extension was inspired in part by Rikaichan and Rikaikun, but it stands apart in its goal of being a all-encompassing learning tool as opposed to a mere browser-based dictionary. It is the natural evolution of the Yomichan plugin that I developed for Anki when I was starting to learn Japanese back in 2011.
