Features & Capabilities

Skip Mobile Wikipedia is a simple yet effective WebExtension designed to enhance your Wikipedia browsing experience by automatically redirecting the mobile Wikipedia site to its standard desktop version. Upon your first request to a mobile Wikipedia page, the extension redirects you to the canonical desktop domain and sets a "stopMobileRedirect" cookie to prevent any further redirects, ensuring you maintain consistent access to the desktop site without interruptions.

Ideal for users who prefer the full desktop interface on their mobile devices or aim to avoid the simplified mobile version, this extension provides a seamless browsing experience without manual URL adjustments. Its unobtrusive design guarantees efficient redirection with minimal impact on browser performance.

Is Skip Mobile Wikipedia Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Skip Mobile Wikipedia requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
