Infogalactic Transporter: Seamlessly Switch Between Wiki and IG

Infogalactic Transporter is a highly intuitive Chrome extension designed to enable users to move easily between Wikipedia and Infogalactic. It auto-redirects from Wikipedia to Infogalactic's version of the same page by default, but users can also click the extension button to shuttle back to the Wiki version and suspend auto-redirect for the particular tab. Navigating away from either site resets the auto-redirect function. The extension's behavior is tab-specific and does not affect other open tabs. Upcoming features include an easy copy/paste function for Wikipedia text.

Love this - I no longer have to deal with Wikipedia and the propaganda. At least I get some balanced information here
