FFS MSDN in English Extension

I got tired of Microsoft's MSDN and docs.microsoft pages in \"my language\". The automatic translation is garbage and there is no easy way of making MSDN/learn... default to english. That is why I wrote this minimalistic extension to switch any MSDN, support.microsoft, azure.microsoft and/or learn.microsft localisation to en-us.

You can easily choose whether you want some or all pages redirected to the english version. Just click the extension icon and toggle the pages on and off (see provided images).

Holger Radecke (ID: 000000c0900651eb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/13/2022 Absolutely the best. Unfortunately, Microsoft changed their documentation structure to a different URI type. Currently not working for docs.microsoft.com because it changed to learn.microsoft.com for whatever reason.
