Here's a simple hassle free extension to quickly search Wikipedia that won't waste your time. Simply select text and click on the extension to pull up quick Wikipedia results!
Why use this extension? We've all been there, we start with one page and end up one another completely random page hours later! It's definitely happened to me.
This extension gives you just the result you need with limited mobility inside Wikipedia itself. So that you're not distracted!
Psst! You can also add a keyboard shortcut through Chrome settings. Then the extension will work even if the icon is hidden away.
A few known issues:
- Some disambiguations will not redirect properly
- Images sometimes don't show up correctly
- This is not Wiktionary so sometimes it will not show the meaning of certain words
- Currently searches EN Wikipedia only
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
