Wikipedia Plus Extension

Wikipedia Plus supplements Wikipedia.org's existing web interface with some convenient behaviors I always wanted myself.

Unlike other extensions which aggressively modify or interfere with the Wikipedia website look and feel, this extension respects the original Wikipedia design and makes minimal changes. I believe that the most empowering tools are invisible.

Features:
* show short text snippets for Wikipedia's internal entries when hover
* turn section titles into in-page links for easier bookmarking and sharing particular sections
* enlarge images when hover
* zoom level is adjustable
* adjusted enlarged image placement for right-to-left language pages

This is an open-source software. Check out the source at: https://github.com/falcondai/chrome-ext-wikipedia

Privacy: This extension does NOT record or send your browsing activities to any remote servers. Your browsing activities at wikipedia.org is not accessible by any third party including me. The permission to \"access your data on *.wikipedia.org\" is only used to insert the necessary UI-modifying scripts.
