Extension summary

Dislike the new forced FandomDesktop? Install this and always use the old normal Hydra theme even when logged out!

Note: This will most likely stop working when Fandom permanently removes Hydra as a theme and forces FandomDesktop.

User reviews

Doesnt work for me. Although the issue seems to be that not all wikis are still able to use Hydra. Can you make an extension that adds ?useskin=oasis to the end of the URL as opposed to ?useskin=hydra As Oasis seems to work in more places still atleast, in my experience.

It is the perfect solution to Fandom's horrible UI.

Very unfortunately doesent work, just adds "?useskin=hydra" to the web address. The new fandom appearance makes it unusable, and i would greatly appreciate a working extension to fix it.
