-Omnibox Search Use the keyword "w". It's simple, type 'w' then a space (or tab) followed by your term to search.
Why Easy Wikipedia? Well, I don't have ads. I didn't like them and I'm not doing this for money, but instead for fun and learning. (I'm a Computer Science major after all) I personally use it to quickly understand technical words in articles I'm researching for school. This would be a great default addition for schools/businesses who use Wikipedia regularly!
