Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
Many individuals prefer the old Wikipedia layout (pre-2023)— this extension aims to bring that back.
Wikipedia offers registered users to change their layout preferences through their account settings, however, incognito and unregistered users are unfortunately left out. This simple extension solves this issue by adding the necessary URL parameter to every Wikipedia page, to ensure that the old layout is displayed.

Works great. I hate having to be logged in to Wikipedia to keep the old layout so this extension is great for keeping the layout without having to make a Wikipedia account
does what it says!
After Wikipedia pulled a Fandom with its new desktop-mode layout, This extension provides a good way to go back to the classic Vector skin. I like the Vector skin better, since it isn't a poorly-blown-up version of the mobile layout. If you liked the pre-2023 layout of Wikipedia, this extension is for you!

best extension ever, even better than adblock
Sadly no longer works, I had to disable it to open wikipedia page.
Works perfect. Thank you!
With this extension installed, I can't access the main Wikipedia site through the URL bar in Chrome. The site attempts to reload itself over and over. I can access it via links without issues.
Seriously, F you wikipedia, forcing me to create an account to change the layout. Just let me set a cookie so I don't need to install yet another browser extension just to surf the web painlessly. YT itself requires 6 extensions to be usable for me.
I second what Elisabeth Rowe has written. All the hyperlinks on pages have "?useskin=vector" at the end, hence no tooltip preview appears. Please, see how it's done in the Old Wiki extension, it doesn't have the same problem: https://github.com/adlerzei/old-wiki
