Does exactly what it says it'll do.

This does exactly what it says it does, and it's perfect. Wikipedia's mobile site is absolutely better for readability, especially on larger/wider monitors. This very simple extension drastically improves the experience of reading on one of my most frequently visited sites.

I find the desktop version of WP (small fonts, unlimited line widths) hard to use. This makes reading it a pleasure. Would hate to live without this.
