Why? Because you can simply browse on Safari and have furigana displayed, which means unlimited sources. You can also filter out words you don’t want furigana to appear onto (e.g. you can deactivate furigana for JLPT5 words). My only suggestion, so far, would be to add a word filter that can be personalised. ### 5/5 — 非常好用！ *2025-11-06* Please add an option that makes the ruby text uncopyable(user-select: none in CSS), it’s way easier for me copying sentences to LLM and asking for grammar explanations. ### 5/5 — 진짜 좋은 어플 *2025-07-09* 유료어플보다 좋은 어플임. (유료어플 사서 써보다가 이거 써보니까 이게 진짜임) 실제로 mecap에서 api돌려서 자료 따오시는듯... 사파리 읽기도구에서도 활용될 수 있다면 더 좋을듯 ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2025-05-19, version 1.0.7* This extension is great, but sometimes the layout looks weird. Nonetheless I use it a lot. ### 5/5 — Works as Advertised *2025-05-08* Thank you very much for this extension! Made life a lot easier for me. ### 3/5 — It works on my iPhone but not my iPad *2025-01-20, version 1.0.7* Exactly as the title says ### 5/5 — Works great! *2024-03-24* Not sure why other people are giving bad ratings when it clearly states that this is for Safari only. Works well for me. A few kanji having the wrong pronunciation, but that’s true for almost all the apps I have tried. Great app! ### 2/5 — Ida *2023-09-20* It doesn’t work on iPad ### 5/5 — Does exactly what I want *2023-08-14* Quickly adds furigana to Kanji on a webpage in Safari. Easy to use...not really anything to complain about. ## Frequently asked questions about Furiganify! ### What does Furiganify! do?
