I loved this extension! <3 I beg you to also add a dark mode :D

I like the readability bit but why does it get rid of everything else? Why can't I switch languages? Why is the table of contents gone? This makes wikipedia readable but also useless.

what really breaks my heart: - it's a great extension - you can't change language (since wiki uses urls you can't just change "en" subdomain to "de" or "hu" or "ru" or "it")
