So far the best online German dictionary I've found is hosted by Technische Universität Chemnitz. Recently they updated the interface and renamed it to Beolingus. Sure it's named after the Beo (a Hill Myna in English), but I'm a boy and always 5 years old at heart. So I always chuckle a little when I load the site to look up a word.

is it better than dict.leo.org?

dict.leo.org is my second choice when I'm trying to find a word. In my experience Beolingus has more entries. Also they have nice short cuts for entering accented characters which is nice when I'm using Windows.

For example, when I looked for Wachsmalstift on both dict.leo.org didn't find anything, but Beolingus did.
