2024-08-09 ahlner Perfect. Works flawlessly.
2024-01-12 softyoda Thank you! I like the new wikipedia interface, but god, I HATE the popup menu to switch language or see how many languages are available... Wikipedia, if you read this, please make VOTE for your community, it's really bad this popup/popover behavior, and philosophy to want to hide everything...

2023-03-10 Firefox user 17812734 This addon is incredible. I have a harder time navigating websites that favor whitespace and hiding everything behind burger menus and invisible touch-oriented spaces, and to have the wikimedia foundation obliterate their readability with no way to revert it other than an account with them was a massive gut-punch. You're awesome, thank you. I rate this addon 10/5.
