Thanks a lot for your hard work! I'm still only at WK5, but I'll use this extension more and more as I find websites with easy-to-read stories and as I progress through the levels ^^

Awesome extension. Allows you to have instant access to Wanikani info by hovering kanji with the mouse pointer, and to have a glimpse of how far you are from being able to read a text.
