Extension summary

I wrote this extension after getting annoyed by a mailing list that displayed entire paragraphs on a single unreadable line. It injects a bit of CSS to enable line wrapping in

 tags:

pre { white-space: pre-wrap; }

This takes effect immediately on all active pages.

I've published the (very short) source code under the Apache 2.0 license.

User reviews

Does not work at all. Absolutely useless.

Thank you! I had this with a Firefox extension and really missed it. Is there a way to toggle it on or off for the current page (right-click or tool bar) without enable/disabling the extension as a whole?
