2019-05-03 | Jonathan D'Angelo | Impressive tool with great utility and usability. Wikipedia is sort of the epitome of what the internet can offer society; a nearly comprehensive source of information truly at your fingertips where there is no need for searching - you just click on what you want to know in an article. This is really the first tool in my mind to apply this type of knowledge power to the internet as a whole - very cool. As a teacher, I will suggest that all of my students download this a utilize it to its fullest capacity. Personally, I found tremendous use as I pursue new hobbies with technical vocabulary outside of my current knowledge pool. (It's nice to not have to look up everything about photography to read about astrophotograhy, etc.) | ||

2019-05-02 | Ben Bramble | This is actually really clever. You can be reading an article and see somebody's name that you don't recognize and then hover over their name and get a brief blurb about who they are. For example, forget which state a senator represents? Just hover. It takes a second to get used to, but you can also configure it easily to only scan pages when you want it to or certain URL's. I also checked the net response times to see if it was slowing down my browsing and it doesn't. It adds 200ms which is really nothing. It also works with an ad blocker so no issue there Overall, I quite liked it and will keep it around. | ||
