Desktop Wikipedia

Redirects mobile Wikipedia pages to desktop Wikipedia.

Features & Capabilities

Desktop Wikipedia is a simple Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by automatically redirecting mobile Wikipedia pages to their desktop counterparts. This ensures that you always access the full desktop version of Wikipedia, which can be easier to navigate and richer in features than the mobile site.

Ideal for users who prefer the desktop layout or need full access to Wikipedia's comprehensive content, Desktop Wikipedia works quietly in the background without requiring any configuration. Just install the extension and enjoy a consistent Wikipedia experience on all your devices.

Is Desktop 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.

Desktop 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.
