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")

An option to read the page in other languages would be awesome!

Hey, I really like this app. It seems lightweight (I guess just css stuff?) which is always good. Unfortunately links are not visible - they are just black like the rest of the text. Also some options would be nice. Even if it would just be a css editor.

I would like it better if there was a key press that brings back the links in the left margin so that I could go to the same page in other languages or even a key that removes all cleanups as the only way to disable this mode is to go to the extensions page.
2014-08-23 Yale Paulsen This is an excellent idea with some crucial flaws in execution. As other reviewers have pointed out this extension eliminates the table of contents which is a great feature of wikipedia. More importantly it eliminates the user's ability to edit pages. Effectively killing the spirit of the *user generated* encyclopedia.

Nice extension. Makes Wikipedia much more easy to read. As mentioned by other commentators the links do not have color, but this can be fixed by going to: %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\imoddojnfpdkpfiipadaibjplddaneka\1.7_0\readable.css and removing the line "color: black !important;" from the "a, a:visited" section. Note: May need to change "Default" in the address to the name of your specific Chrome user profile. Then restart Chrome and the links will have color. :)

Layout is ok. I don't mind the invisible links, that even helps against the addiction. But I miss the list of languages.
