Wikipedia Quick Hints Extension
When reading how often do you have to open an additional cross-article just to glimpse quickly at the meaning of a term you do not know?
Now with Wikipedia Quick Hints getting definitions of unknown terms has become as simple as just hovering the cursor over a respective link. The definition pops up automatically. Images zooming is another useful feature of the extension.
See screenshots for example.
Please rate if you find it useful. Comment if you have questions, find bugs or have ideas for improvements.

*** ATTENTION ***
Due to the changes Wikepedia developers made to the structure of the articles WikipediaQuickHints had a lot of problems with getting correct definition and hence in most cases poped up useless \"Can not get definition for this term ...\" message. Please report the problems so that I could fix problematic places.
Thank you for using it! :)
