| 2023-02-17 | Zekas | | The add-on was great, but support has been dropped and as of recently seems to have been completely broken on Wikipedia. Fortunately, Wikipedia has a native equivalent now. Unfortunately, the native equivalent sucks by comparison, as not the entire summary is displayed. For logged-in users, under Preferences > Gadgets, you can enable navigation popups which is somewhat better than the default but still inferior to this extension, were it still functional. |
| 2023-02-07 | be | | THIS FEATURE IS NATIVE TO WIKIPEDIA NOW. You can enable or disable it on the wikipedia site. For logged-in users, Page Previews may be re-enabled from user settings under the section titled "Appearance". For logged-out users, Page Previews may be re-enabled by selecting the "Enable Previews" link at the bottom of the page. Search "turn on page previews in wikipedia" there is also an advanced preview option called "navigation pop up" if you are signed in on wikipedia. This extension worked very well but as far as I know it is no longer updated so I use the native option on the site. |

| 2022-02-03 | harl windwolf | | The latest release version from the author's Github page works great. It's safe and practically the same thing. If you install it from there, it's called "Wikipedia Peek - DEV" in the FF addons manager. (Don't forget to disable or remove the regular one you downloaded from AMO.) Not sure why this isn't updated on AMO, but as long as the dev version works, it's a very helpful extension. One thing I noticed is that this works on other sites than Wikipedia by default, but you can actually just remove the <all_urls> entry in the extension's options. (The pages/tabs need to be reloaded after this for it to work, or rather stop working on them.) It also adds a button, with which you can temporarily "disable" it when it gets in the way, so there's that. |
