Description from store
This is a simple, open source extension which makes browsing TV Tropes *a lot* easier by showing you simple explanations of links on TV Tropes, without you having to leave the page you're browsing. This is done by displaying the laconic text, for pages which have them, in a popover on links linking to Tropes.
This helps if you haven't happened to memorize every trope yet, or if you just want to know what trope a word is linking to, without leaving the page.

- (2025-03-29) Edgar Roock: Stopped working today. I see that there was an update. Perhaps the fix is not yet working. Thanks for keeping the tool maintained. Still not working with the update from 27 March 25. Example: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbortedArc The only laconic that loads is the one for Plot Point.
- (2025-03-04) roblox archiver (roblox archiver): very good, not sure why this isn't in tv tropes by default, there WAS a bug with AKA pages (aka redirects) but i think it might been patched now? not enough to remove a star anyways
