Oh for fucks sake, now the article itself has a misplaced mobile Wikipedia link and there’s nowhere I can quickly see to put my copy paste about it.
copy paste for context:
Please, anyone who reads this, stop posting links to the mobile version of Wikipedia. It doesn’t switch automatically on PC, and I see it happen all the time. Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.
General infosec tip: keep your browser add-ons to the absolute minimum you can live with. Add-ons are attack vectors. The more you have - the more at risk you are. And only install the ones you have a reason to trust.
I would assume, and hope, it works really well for such usage. I only tend to end up on Wikipedia a couple of times a week, and 95% of that is on my desktop to have a quick look at something I won’t be getting back to ever again.

People not having the Wikipedia app baffles me. Sharing from there gives you reasonable links.
There’s a Wikipedia app? I find that baffling.
Try it. It’s great.
How much time do you spend on Wikipedia?
My man, I think I have over a hundred tabs and saved wikipedia articles alone that I always refer to when needed. The app works great for me

Then the app is not for you. 😊
Time? Pff, no clue. But I look things up all the time and don’t have time to finish articles the first time round, ever (two kids under six).
So it’s great to have and get back to articles.
Yes that works, and you can also use something like URLCheck and just drop that path
What is that, an extension?
Yes it is https://f-droid.org/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker/
