If you're like me when reading something on the internet that I want to learn more about (often), I copy and paste that word or phrase into the Omnibox or Google Search box. But I just learned there is a faster way:
Next time you want to look up what a word means or learn more about something you've read, try this:
1) Highlight the word or phrase you want to research
2) Right-click on the highlighted text (on computers with a trackpad do a Control key and click on the trackpad)
3) Choose Search Google for "selected text" from the contextual menu. A new browser tab will then open. That's all there is to it!
If you are reading on a tablet or phone, you tap the word or phrase to highlight it, then choose Look Up from the pop-up menu.
