en Seems to run into a bug where it is unable to GET the content but very useful when it works. Also agree with Farley's comment about excessive question marks. Wikipedia provides different link colours for when content does not exist and this should be the exception rather than the rule. And incredibly with regard to Dmitriy's review, it seems Google has patented something which does exactly that as of June 23. Additionally, the timer for closing pop-ins could probably be doubled as it is very easy to accidentally mouse-off it. It could be helpful to add a close button as they sometimes get stuck.

I like the extension except for the small question mark under every highlighted word or phrase in the Wikipedia article. Just underline the word (which it does) and skip the question mark. All the subscript question marks on the page disrupt the flow of reading the article needlessly. We all get it, we know how to use the extension.

A'm absolutely love it. And want to find somewhat similar extension that previews content of visiting link but not exclusively for Wikipedia.

Amazing, I forgot I even had the extension until I recently got used a different browser. I thought wikipedia did the pop-ups by itself. But apparently, it's this extension. So useful. Thanks for making my life easier.

Great and extremely useful extension. IMO beats the built-in functionality in wikipedia. It does have some issues like buggy behavior when you have too many pop ups inside pop ups (by too many I mean like 3 or more)and some slight issues with pop ups not closing properly but overall it is a 4 to 5 stars extension.
