Extension summary

EasyWiki is a Chrome extension that simplifies your journey down the Wikipedia rabbit-hole! No more 57 tabs! We love popovers!

How does it work?

  • Install the extension.

  • Turn EasyWiki ON by clicking the EasyWiki button on the toolbar.

  • Now, whenever you hover on a Wikipedia link on any website, a popover will show up with the description of that article, so that you do not have to open a new tab every time.

Will it create a mess of popovers?

Most certainly, it wouldn't. It waits for at least 700 milliseconds before bringing up the popover.
