Say you're on a webpage about a particular thing ("entity"). Click on Entity Explosion to get information about that entity, and an explosion of links to other sites about that same entity.
Even before you click, the icon will light up red if the URL you are on matches a set of formats for which information may be available. Once you click, it will either turn green if it can find information, or black if it can't.
The data provided is sourced from Wikidata, via the Wikidata Query Service, a site run by the Wikimedia Foundation. Entity Explosion is not endorsed by or affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation.
The URL and language (only) will only be sent out as a part of a query when you click the extension, so your browsing privacy is protected.
Some big sites it works on include: Wikipedia, iNaturalist, IMDB, PubMed, Twitter, Spotify, YouTube, VIAF, Facebook, Instagram, GBIF, and GeoNames, but in total there are over 5000 connected sites including libraries, galleries, museums, archives.
This extension is in development, so you can expect occasional changes. I would welcome feedback at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Entity_Explosion
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
