Worked quickly. Would love to have an option to view full reading list in browser as the wikipedia app doesn't allow easy copying of the reading list which is a shame for reading list analysis.

Works great for me with edge and iOS, didn't need to do anything to configure it, just installed the extension and worked without problem. LOVE IT THANK YOU.

Good, but I also want to manage my list from my desktop computer's web browser and there's no UI for it in the extension. And also I'd like to choose a reading list while saving (since I may have many on mobile), and not everything saved to go to the default "Saved".
