Wiki to Grok

Wiki to Grok is a lightweight browser extension that automatically redirects Wikipedia articles to Grokipedia for AI-enhanced summaries and insights.

Features

• Automatic Redirection: Seamlessly redirects wikipedia.org/wiki/ URLs to their grokipedia.com/page/ equivalents.
• Toggle Control: Easily enable or disable the extension with a single click on the toolbar icon.
• Visual Status:
  • ON (Green Badge): Redirection is active.
  • OFF (Gray Badge): You can browse Wikipedia normally.
• Persistent State: The extension remembers your preference (ON/OFF) even after you restart the browser.
• Privacy Focused: Uses Manifest V3 and the declarativeNetRequest API for efficient, privacy-preserving redirections without inspecting your page content.

Installation

Since this extension is not yet in the Chrome Web Store, you can install it manually in developer mode:

1. Clone or Download this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/wiki-to-grok.git

2. Open your browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, or Arc) and navigate to the Extensions page:

3. Enable Developer mode (usually a toggle in the top-right corner).
4. Click the Load unpacked button.
5. Select the wiki-to-grok folder from your computer.

The extension should now appear in your toolbar.

Usage

2. Disable: Click the extension icon in your toolbar. The badge will change to OFF, and redirection will stop immediately.
3. Re-enable: Click the icon again to turn it back ON.
