User reviews

It was working a few months ago, and it made Wikipedia articles feel very readable. However, as of the date of writing, it does not work. Hope the dev fixes this extension, as it's unique and I can't find this functionality anywhere else.

It works on English Wikipedia. But in some other languages it's not working like Deutsch, Español and Français.
