Wikipedia Plus - Chrome extension to enhance Wikipedia browsing

'Wikipedia Plus' is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the user experience on Wikipedia.org. Distinct from other extensions, it only makes minimal changes and preserves the original appearance of the website. Key features include previewing internal Wikipedia entries, transforming section titles into in-page links, and allowing users to enlarge images on hover with an adjustable zoom level. Wikipedia Plus holds user privacy to high esteem, does not store or share browsing history, and is open-source. Despite being designed for Wikipedia, it's not officially endorsed by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Looks great with MinervaNeue theme, especially with page zoomed to 150 percent. Dark mode would be nice.
