Replacing Google with https://dictionaryapi.dev/.

Root cause:

This extension works based on DOM parsing of Google search HTML response of "define $word".

Recently, Google search result page has undergone major change due to AI integration. This has broken this add-on.

Due to AI integration, other search result page parsing seems volatile. Better alternative to use dictionaryapi.dev, which is free and from @meetDeveloper. :)

Fixes #81

Thx for this PR! I'm just a user of the addon. Do you know if it is possible to install the addon from a local git repo (including your fix)?

Use about:debugging → Load Temporary Add-on and point to load manifest.json to test your local Firefox add-on quickly. For permanent add-on loading, it requires add-on to be signed by Firefox.
