Features & Capabilities

I developed it for myself, but what the heck, if someone wants to use this, let him benefit from it. Currently what it does is below, but I will add more in the future.

Toggle the (mostly useless) left panel (hides it by default).
Place commonly used language versions right at the top. I often need to read other language editions of an entry, but those links are at the middle of the left panel, so I had scroll down the page. Moreover, the order is sort of random and some entries are hidden under "More" button, so I cannot easily find the language I want.
This extension allows pinning fixed-order language buttons at the top, so that one can open language editions with a muscle memory Greyed one means that that language edition is not available. The language editions and their orders can be customised by clicking this extension's icon in the tool bar.
Hide HTML links.

Is Better Wikipedia Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Better Wikipedia requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Better Wikipedia has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
