Wellington Bernieri de Carvalho (ID: 000000513c5b29bb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/20/2021 Eu acho a extensão excelente, mas parou de funcionar faz um bom tempo, desinstalei e instalei novamente mas ainda não funciona nas paginas da Wikipedia. Alguém saberia me dizer se é somente comigo o problema?

Dgé (ID: 0000003b1c0c92b5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/18/2020 NE FONCTIONNE PAS! Par le passé, j'avais l'habitude de me servir de "tampermonkey" et d'y insérer un script qui faisait la même chose qu'est censée faire cette extension "WikiTube"... mais il ne fonctionne plus! C'est la raison pour laquelle je suis venu essayer cette extension pour chrome "WikiTube", mais elle ne fonctionne pas non plus, malheureusement! Est-ce que quelqu'un aurait une solution pour palier à ce problème, svp? Merci d'avance.
