Davide Butti (ID: 000000da8bf1df1d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/11/2023 literally always wanted it. works great. thanks

Perry Janssen (ID: 00000002f7df5d4d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/30/2022 tldr: "Should I install?": Yes! So this extension does work sometimes or most times, depending on what you're searching. Only if the Wikipedia page already is one of the results of the first page in Google, it will be bumped up to the top. I checked the code of the extension and I'm pretty sure this is how it works. Also, Google results are always personalised for every user, and in my case, I don't get a Wikipedia page at the top when searching "Google" (like the screenshots of the extension suggests), so the same search can have different results depending on the user. But, I will definitely keep in installed! If it works some/most of the time, it's a nice addition to Chrome without affecting performance or safety (based on a quick check of the code). Just don't get your hopes up too much. This is one of those extensions that you should just install and forget about, making sure you won't feel annoyed when it doesn't work and won't notice anything when it does, as those can be the best tools in your life :)

L (ID: 000000ff6e5c85ec) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/26/2022 exactly what I wanted. Whenever I google a certain word to know what it means, I don't have to add "wikipedia" at the end of my search; with this extension it just immediately shows me what I was looking for. 5/5 I recommend this extension. :)
