It doesn't work for me because Chrome says it hasn't properly asked for CORS: XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'chrome-extension://lngmpepkiehelbokpbaaddablknfoncc' is therefore not allowed access. HTH
