Red face Use external browser for lookup-word in Calibre-4.1

I've upgraded my installation of Calibre after a very long time and was pleased and grateful to see so much improvement. The most striking change would definitely be the use of internal browser for `Lookup-word` and `Inspector`.

But the pop-up of the browser really mess up the text of the book. I could keep the lookup section in floating mode, but I don't want to do that because it clutters up too much space. I'd rather use the previous functionality where the `Lookup word` command would open up a browser tab in an external browser. It would be better for my workflow.

So, is there a way to revert back to the previous method of `Lookup word` where that command opens up an external browser tab?
