One of the best addons ever made for English learning.

Good add-on. The only drawback is that there is no manual for getting cookies. But after I figured it out, everything works as expected.

Works perfectly, no problems encountered.

Took a minute to figure out how to use this, but works great once you figure it out.

WARNING: it will delete your word-list from Cambridge after it pulls it into Anki! Luckily my list was quite short.

Thank you. Great add-on. I hope it will be developed still further.

To get cookies in Firefox: log in to your Cambridge account, search for word, press F12, tab Network, click on dictionary Cambridge line, on the right you will see cookies. Copy the entire line and paste to add-on.

I think if log out your cookies will no longer work. But to see your list you need to be logged in anyway.

How to use?

Can anyone explain how to use it?

Promising but some crazy bug appears when I enter the same link to word. It extend window with previous results. I'm using Anki 2.1.15 (442df9d6).
And you probably should tell people how to copy cookie.

Great idea but how does it work?
