Features & Capabilities

Wikipedia Simple Switcher helps readers move from regular English Wikipedia articles to their Simple English Wikipedia versions.

When you visit a Wikipedia article, the add-on checks whether a Simple English version exists. If it does, a small “Simple English” button appears at the bottom-right of the page. Clicking the button opens the matching Simple English Wikipedia article.

This is useful for students, English learners, casual readers, or anyone who wants a shorter and easier explanation before reading the full article.

The add-on does not collect personal data, does not track browsing history, and does not require an account.

Is Wikipedia Simple Switcher 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.

Wikipedia Simple Switcher requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Wikipedia Simple Switcher is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
