Summary

Wikipedia is great, but often assumes very heavy, domain exclusive knowledge. If you need to dig deeper, you can end up with hundreds of tabs all over your screen.

Not anymore! With Wikipedia (Inline) Context Expander (WCE), you can keep your browsing experience in one tab!

How can I use it?

Once it's installed, head to your favourite wiki article. You can then either:

  • Highlight a word, then right click and press Expand inline from Wikipedia.
  • Right click a link, and then press Expand inline from Wikipedia. Then, wait a few seconds, and your word will be replaced with the first line from the target wikipedia article (if it exists).
