Description

Are you a visual thinker? wikipics is a more visual way to browse Wikipedia.

The extension replaces all text links with image links overlayed with the original text of the link -- making the abstract concrete. See the faces behind development of the World Wide Web. See the ingredients needed to make beef noodle soup. See the changes that Boeing made to each generation of airplane.

Toggle the extension on/off to switch between textual and pictorial browsing experiences.

----------------------------------

wikipics was designed as an educational experiment, with two learning goals in mind:
-- Intuition and bursts of insight in science and mathematics are closely associated with the ability to think visually. This extension attempts to encourage more information in your head to be represented in images rather than text.
-- The extension overlays text on top of images, exposing the reader to hundreds of spontaneous flash cards and giving rise to many opportunities for rich associations and unintentional learning.

What has inspired us?

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!
