XKCD-alt printer Extension

Helps reading xkcd comics and much more.

This extensions intercepts the comics coming from xkcd.com, and presents the web-pages in a slightly more helpful manner:
* Shows the images' alt-text below the image in xkcd.com.
* If the xkcd comic has listed a transcript, the transcript will be formatted and listed below as well.
* For comics in xkcd.com, a link will be shown that takes you to explainxkcd.com - which will help you if the comic has too hard references, mathematics, nerding, etc.
* The alt-text will also be shown for images in what-if.xkcd.com (bonus points if you haven't visited it yet).
