Chrome Dictionary keeps popping up

Every time I tap Home, Messages, etc, on the fab page, a pop up appears at the bottom of the android phone screen (and also on my tablet) giving the definition of the word Home!! ie "Where you live"....I cannot find the dictionary on chrome browser to delete or uninstall it. Is anybody else having this problem with Chrome? It doesn't happen with Firefox.

I only get the word synopsis come up if I hold the word on my screen. I'm using chrome. It'll be hiding in your Google or device settings. Type your specific device make & model into the search bar with the querie.

Ok thanks, will try that. It doesn't happen with Firefox, so I guess it is a chrome extension hidden somewhere, as you say.

It seems like it's part of Chrome on Android as it happens on my OnePlus toom I haven't found a setting to disable it as yet either. It's happening because you are selecting the word by clicking it and then does a search based on the selected word and pops up the results.

To minimise the issue (and your frustrations), when you tap the button, try to click on the image itself rather than the word (ie tap the house picture on the Home button rather than the text 'Home' on the Home button). This seems to work on all the buttons

Chrome is updated on a frequent basis by Google. I'm not sure when this 'feature' started happening though, it's been like this on my phone for quite a while when browsing Fab. This also happens for me on some other sites too, but also some other sites require a long press to select the word instead - it's weird.

Is happening with me and also the dropdown box that normally has autocorrect suggestions is still there but completely blank. If I click on a space words appear in the text box but I can't see them until I've clicked on a blank space in the dropdown box. Very confusing even to describe!

Switch off predictive text. These are suggestions and if you clicked on them would add to your sentence.

I like predictive text though, I've used it in the same format for years, it just has started showing the same box but blank instead of suggestions
