YuzuLingo vs YomiNinja
YuzuLingo stays in the browser. Install the extension, cover burned-in subtitles, and look words up with YuzuLingo’s own dictionary popup on the recognized line. Hold a modifier and hover any page text for the same popup. Dictionaries use Yomitan-format zips on this device. There is no desktop app to download.
YomiNinja is a desktop app. It reads text in any window, including games and manga, and looks words up with Yomitan or 10ten.
