I am one of those people who actually like Wikipedia the way it is. It's what I hoped the web to become. But i am sure there are people who will appreciate your effort. Thank you for your work.

This feels like a failing on Microsoft’s part, at least for current versions of Windows. The bar for a viable system font has been raised and it’s their responsibility as an OS vendor to ensure the bar is met across localizations. As for old versions of Windows… well, one should probably look at their target market/user base. If your demographic is firmly Roman western use of system-ui is probably fine — as far as I’…
You can call it a failing on MS's part up until you have real users that are impacted because then it really doesn't matter who's fault it is when users can't use your site. So MS should fix this and until then you shouldn't use system-ui.
OP, thanks for making this, I bet it was fun to build. That being said, I want someone to do the opposite of what this does. Less chrome, less bytes over the wire, less predictive search, less "flatness?", less timely, more timeless .
Oh dang, yeah. An extension that makes the whole web look and work like the default Mediawiki skin would be glorious. And _fast_. I miss windows having borders. Just dug up a registry hack (obscene that such a thing was needed) to force win10 to have window borders again, because I keep ending up in situations where I honestly couldn't tell where one ends and the other begins. They spent decades researching and build…

> But I would say that it's the HN commenters being incredibly obnoxious, not wikipedia being wrong for giving you the mobile site when you specifically ask for it. But it's kinda crazy that if I'm on my phone I can't just share a URL to a page with someone who happens to be using a desktop. While I'm not sure if this is made explicit in any of the RFCs or standard docs, in my view a URL should be a locator for a res…

You're not making sense. The mobile page has a dedicated URL. If you're browsing it, then sharing the URL will send anyone else to the same resource you're browsing, regardless of their user agent. Ev…
The use case is: I go to the standard wikipedia page, browse a bit, and then I want to give out links to the standard wikipedia page of a specifig article.
This is currently not possible without editing the URL if you are on mobile. And I dont understand why wikipedia is refusing to fix this.
I don't get this. If you want it to be narrower, make your browser window narrower. And by the way, you don't need an extension for the rest of the stuff, either. Wikipedia already supports per-user custom styling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:User_style
i have a huge 4k monitor and always open many browser tabs at once, some tabs I don't want the window to be narrow on, and others might be wikipedia
with this when I switch to my wikipedia tab i can just read it and it's very pleasing to the eye
It's a bit rough[0] at ultrawide resolutions, but then again what isn't? There's also a small padding issue[1] next to the sidebar when the column width is set high. Otherwise it looks pretty good.

I really like this though!

Equally, I don't like it when websites try to guess what kind of browser I'm in and force me into the mobile experience when I have a window take up half the screen on a 1080p monitor, ... so I guess there's really no easy win for this :(
I think proper media queries breakpoints solve this

This is exactly how CSS and HTML were intended to operate and the kind of results to be expected.
