TubeIt for Wikipedia Extension

TubeIt makes reading Wikipedia articles more engaging and insightful.

With TubeIt, you can watch the relevant YouTube videos of the Wiki article right there on the page.
And unlike similar extensions, it shows you only the educational videos, filtering the crap!

Moreover, you can just select the word or a phrase on the page and the related YouTube videos will appear instantly on the top of the page. You'll see an arrow which will take you to the video quickly on the click of it.

Right now, TubeIt works only on Wikipedia.

After improvements from your suggestions and feedbacks, I'm planning to add support for other websites too.

Kindly let me know you experiences using TubeIt.

Thanks!
