Yomichan Options

Profiles

Profiles allow you to create multiple configurations and quickly switch between them or use them in different contexts.

Profile name

Usage conditions

Usage conditions can be assigned such that certain profiles are automatically used in different contexts. For example, when Popup Content Scanning is enabled, different profiles can be used depending on the level of the popup.

Conditions are organized into groups which represent how the conditions are checked. If all of the conditions in any group are met, then the profile will automatically be used for that context. If no conditions are specified, the profile will only be used if it is selected as the Active profile.

Dictionaries

Yomichan can import and use a variety of dictionary formats. Unneeded dictionaries can be disabled, or you can simply purge the database to delete everything.

Deleting individual dictionaries is not currently feasible due to limitations of browser database technology.

Storage

Yomichan is using approximately of .

Could not detect how much storage Yomichan is using.

On Firefox and Firefox for Android, the storage information feature may be hidden behind a browser flag. If you would like to enable this flag, open about:config and search for the dom.storageManager.enabled option. If this option has a value of false, toggling it to true may allow storage information to be calculated.

If you are using Firefox for Android, you will have to make sure you have enough free space on your device to install dictionaries.

Specify the information you would like included in your flashcards in the field editor below. As Anki requires the first field in the model to be unique, it is recommended that you set it to {expression} for term flashcards and {character} for Kanji flashcards. You can use multiple markers per field by typing them in directly.
