Used to be a simple extension to add a suffix to an url. Now updated to require permission to read browsing history.

Suddenly updates after 2 years and requires more permissions. Nope, time to find a new extension.

Does the job, but not when Wikipedia is opened from any external source. When, for example, you open a Wikipedia page from Google search results, the old skin fails to load. Please, see how this issue is solved in the "Revert Wikipedia Layout" extension: https://github.com/nourHalhoul/Revert-Wikipedia-Layout
