Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I don't know how to translate まだ properly but it's like.. "at least" or "at the most" kinda vibes. I think it's definition number 4 on jisho.
- https://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%A3%E3%81%B7%E3%82%8A
- I found that for the vast vast vast vast majority of words I looked up (like 80+%) a jisho entry would've been faster and **better**
- I'll usually draw unknown kanji into Google Translate then copy paste to jisho for the actual definition
- realistically you can do without vocabulary and just use a dictionary like jisho.org and dictionary your way to understanding things.
Cons
- Dictionaries also have example sentences (although I wouldn't trust those on jisho).
- I searched this word on the site Jisho, and found its meaning to be the area beneath your navel, where your bladder and other organs are located.
- I checked Jisho.org and didn't see anything there.
- If it's based on JMdict (like jisho.org and many others), it's probably a mark for "Rarely-used kanji form".
- I'll only put extra effort in if I can't understand the sentence at all because of it, in which case I'll draw it on jisho which is a pain in the arse because you need to do it in the right order usually or it won't work.

In the case of a word, just use a dictionary jisho.org first. If you value your time, then it's faster than coming here to ask a question--it takes about 5s to check a dictionary
You can find kanji by using ... kanji component look up on jisho.org
Studying grammar, vocab, and interacting with the language daily while looking up unknown words and grammar using a dictionary and a site like jisho.org and google search.
Having used tools like 10ten Reader, jisho.org, takoboto, Akebi and more. I have really become attached to the dictionary that is included in all of these and more.
