Comments about Google Dictionary as an Alternative to GoldenDict

Google Dictionary is a Chrome extension, whereas GoldenDict is a standalone program. You can't use the former without Chrome.

Not an application, but a browser extension. GoldenDict can be used from anywhere on the system and is stand-alone. Google Dictionary requires installation of Chrom(e/ium) browser and can be used only within it.
