Personal note

I have been using this extension as the primary Wikipedia browser extension, It is a great tool to browse and read Wikipedia, as it is feature-rich, comes with a dozen of readability tool, and multi-language page browser.

However, the current layout the puts the image up to the head of the page, use the primary image in the page which is small in most pages, so it results in a blurry image.
