User reviews

Great Idea! Can still use some polishing, though. Feature requests: * Higher resolution icon * Customizable languages for Wikipedia with multiple icons * Icons not always visible - only on mouse hover or while pressing [Alt] * Open page scrolled down a little, so the first sentence of the text is at the very top (skipping title and all the Wikipedia infoblocks)
