What is Skip Mobile Wikipedia?

Skip Mobile Wikipedia is a Firefox extension designed to enhance your browsing experience on Wikipedia. It functions by redirecting the first request from the mobile Wikipedia site to the standard one, setting a 'stopMobileRedirect' cookie to prevent future involuntary redirects to the mobile domain. With this add-on, you can fully utilize the comprehensive Wikipedia interface that is often limited in the mobile version. Perfect for researchers and knowledge-seekers who value optimal functionality.
