msdn-delocalizer

Browser extension to force de-localization of Microsoft documentation pages

Features & Capabilities

Sometimes, when looking for Microsoft documentation via a search engine, you may be presented with a link leading to a localized documentation page from Microsoft. Quality of translation varies a lot, but, as English speaker, you may choose to not deal with localization at all, and always look for English pages.

msdn-delocalizer is a browser (Chrome, Firefox) extension that will automatically delocalize Microsoft documentation pages, such as MSDN or docs.microsoft.com.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

msdn-delocalizer requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
