Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Wikipedia Link Expander is for people who enjoy browsing articles on Wikipedia and exploring all the links. This extension allows you to hover over a link in Wikipedia and view the first paragraph of information in that article so you can read without clicking away. It isn't very good, it is incredibly buggy, and there are probably better alternatives out there, but we wanted to show off our version!

User reviews

So useful. It makes it so easy to understand what is happening on Wikipedia
by Meghana Gadiraju, 2015-02-22
It matches the description - it works pretty poorly. Really buggy and Wikipedia Quick HInts is so much better. But, accurate description.
