Extension summary

Toggles showing and hiding Wikipedia reference/citation markers.

By default the extension hides citation markers in articles to improve Wikipedia article readability. For the few times you actually want to check a reference, just click the extension icon and they will reappear.

Note: the extension only activates on Wikipedia wiki pages, so if it's grayed out, visit such a page (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive).
