About this extension
Wikipedia Simple Switcher helps readers move from regular English Wikipedia articles to their Simple English Wikipedia versions.
When you visit a Wikipedia article, the add-on checks whether a Simple English version exists. If it does, a small “Simple English” button appears at the bottom-right of the page. Clicking the button opens the matching Simple English Wikipedia article.
This is useful for students, English learners, casual readers, or anyone who wants a shorter and easier explanation before reading the full article.
The add-on does not collect personal data, does not track browsing history, and does not require an account.
