• (2024-11-29) // ANT //: Perfect, sorry Wikipedia but I liked the old layout more.
• (2023-10-29) Andrew Morrell: does what it says!
• (2023-10-19) Trevor Hart: After Wikipedia pulled a Fandom with its new desktop-mode layout, This extension provides a good way to go back to the classic Vector skin. I like the Vector skin better, since it isn't a poorly-blown-up version of the mobile layout. If you liked the pre-2023 layout of Wikipedia, this extension is for you!
• (2023-09-02) Mike Butt: Sweet relief.
• (2023-06-27) Sergei K: Subarashii
• (2023-05-21) Diako Taha: best extension ever, even better than adblock
• (2023-04-17) Michał Chraniuk: Sadly no longer works, I had to disable it to open wikipedia page.
• (2023-03-30) Nikolai Alexandrov: Works perfect. Thank you!
• (2023-02-16) Benjamin Hunting: With this extension installed, I can't access the main Wikipedia site through the URL bar in Chrome. The site attempts to reload itself over and over. I can access it via links without issues.
• (2023-02-11) Izofeu: Seriously, F you wikipedia, forcing me to create an account to change the layout. Just let me set a cookie so I don't need to install yet another browser extension just to surf the web painlessly. YT itself requires 6 extensions to be usable for me.
• (2023-02-02) Nikolai Iakimov: I second what Elisabeth Rowe has written. All the hyperlinks on pages have "?useskin=vector" at the end, hence no tooltip preview appears. Please, see how it's done in the Old Wiki extension, it doesn't have the same problem: https://github.com/adlerzei/old-wiki
• (2023-01-29) Elizabeth Rowe: It works, but it doesn't show the previews when you hover over the hyperlinks.
• (2023-01-27) TheToonsofJosh: Again: This extension helps a lot, the new layout really sucks and it's baffling that they use THAT as the default layout, does what it says on the title, awesome.
• (2023-01-27) Jarmo Syvänne: The new Wikipedia UI sucks real bad. After installing this extension Wikipedia is usable again. Excellent.
• (2023-01-26) Thanh Minhton: Thank you for your efforts. Cannot stress how poorly the new wikipedia was implemented with the ridiculous use of wasted whitespace
• (2023-01-25) Josh Hochman: Thank you for restoring some measure of sanity to an increasingly insane world. Minor request: I'm wondering if it would be possible to add an option to somehow exclude bookmarked pages from the extension's URL modification? That way I could click on a bookmark and it would bring me to the default/unmodified URL (it used to do this prior to 1/23, before you updated it). I have a number of Wikipedia pages bookmarked, and now that the URL has been modified, clicking on a bookmark automatically redirects me to the useskin=vector version of the page. I haven't lost any bookmarks or anything, but the bookmark star isn't blue anymore for those select pages and it's a slight annoyance in regards to keeping track of articles I previously saved.
• (2023-01-24) cm: Exactly what I needed
• (2023-01-24) Otto Palmlöf: Does exactly what is says
• (2023-01-24) Aaron: new layout wastes 2/3rds of my screen. this does what it says on the can. website now functions properly on desktops
• (2023-01-24) Rob: Works!
• (2023-01-23) Анна-Мария Конова: So all this extension does is append '?useskin=vector' to all Wikipedia links. There is already a Tampermonkey script available doing the same thing.
• (2023-01-23) Willie Ball: Does exactly what it says without any fuss. Did notice that it tries to constantly refresh reddit on old reddit layout, but removing its permission to modify reddit stopped it.
• (2023-01-23) L: Hasn't erased my windows directory yet and does what it says on the tin. Excellent.
• (2023-01-22) Colin Ranere: Thank you for making this, the current design is a hideous waste of space and I don't like them trying to force an account just to make it decent looking again. Gotta love having to install a plugin every time a major website does a terrible redesign. Wooooo.
• (2023-01-22) Matthew Dardengo: Works for Wikipedia hyperlinks, but not when I use Wikipedia's search box.
• (2023-01-22) Abdul Hadi: Works as intended. Thank you, random Reddit user!
• (2023-01-22) Morning Lemon: 22-01-2023 Works good
• (2023-01-22) Nick Seraphin: As of 1-22-23, this extension worked perfectly. Well done.
• (2023-01-22) Mazen Abuelenain: Does not seem to work for me, whenever I click a link it still shows the original UI. Redirector seems to work for me but not this extension.
