Description

Easy Wikipedia makes it easy to search and access information from Wikipedia.org

-Term Hover Tool
When you go to a Wikipedia article all possible terms will be denoted with a simple underline. Check what the term means by hovering over an underlined term. A description will pop up in a couple of seconds.

-Right-Click Search
On any website, highlight a term, right-click it and choose "Search Wikipedia for ..."

-Omnibox Search
Use the keyword "w". It's simple, type 'w' then a space (or tab) followed by your term to search.

Why Easy Wikipedia?
Well, I don't have ads. I didn't like them and I'm not doing this for money, but instead for fun and learning. (I'm a Computer Science major after all)
I personally use it to quickly understand technical words in articles I'm researching for school.
This would be a great default addition for schools/businesses who use Wikipedia regularly!

What has inspired us?

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!
