On: Wikipedia is getting a new look

[cmckn]

Wikiwand[1] is something I've been using for a while that makes Wikipedia a bit nicer to look at. The concerns others have voiced about the long line length are addressed by this plugin. It also has a great table of contents on the left. Other things, I think wikipedia.org does better. Excited to see the changes!

Thank you. I've never seen wikiwand before but it is a big improvement. It is missing those pop over windows that wikipedia has when you hover over a link though.

The popovers work for me in the latest Chromium (if we're talking about the same thing)! I love those.

I do think Wikiwand goes a bit too far in the "slick" direction; Wikipedia is more functional. But it's nice to play with an alternative.

They also work in Firefox when you allow JS from wikipedia. I had blocked 3rd party JS.
