Extension summary

This is a simple, open source extension which makes browsing TV Tropes a lot easier by showing you simple explanations of links on TV Tropes, without you having to leave the page you're browsing. This is done by displaying the laconic text, for pages which have them, in a popover on links linking to Tropes.

This helps if you haven't happened to memorize every trope yet, or if you just want to know what trope a word is linking to, without leaving the page.

It does what it says and does it well. I was pleasantly surprised that when I went to look to see if this existed, it did. 5 stars.
