Yomichad - Japanese pop-up dictionary for qutebrowser
I really love qutebrowser, but what initially kept me from using it as my main browser was the lack of a Japanese pop-up dictionary userscript in the vein of yomichan, 10ten or rikaikun. That's why I wrote my own one, called yomichad. If you are interested, you can find more information in the repository. I hope it will be of help to others as well!

As an aside, I'd recommend installing 10ten reader in your browser. It's an excellent tool.

What are things about Japan you learned from anime/manga?
It turns out that there's a lot more tools nowadays to help out the process which makes reading and interpreting Japanese a lot easier. Like, I'm really impressed with Immersion Kit which allows you to look up Japanese phrases and see how they've been translated in various anime which helps out a lot for my amateur translation work. Things like kanji lookups are a lot easier with handwriting recognition compared to the days where I'd have to search by radical. Browser plugins like 10ten make reading Japanese websites with a dictionary much more convenient.

Any Greek browser extension that provides definitions of words when you hover over them?
Analogous to Rikaichamp (https://github.com/birtles/rikaichamp) (Japanese dictionary definitions and pronunciation upon hovering) but for Greek. I've found it really helpful for Japanese learning, but can't find anything similar for learning Greek.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing rikaikun and rikaichamp you can also consider the following projects:
