Omar Hesham (ID: 0000003925d39ebf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/25/2021 Very cool! I Any chance this can apply to the read: page within Microsoft Edge (Chrome based browser) It's the page accessed via immersive Reader mode in Edge When I enter immersive mode via right clicking the wiki page background, the extension does not remove citations in that page.
