Why Easy Wikipedia?
Well, I don't have ads. I didn't like them and I'm not doing this for money, but instead for fun and learning. (I'm a Computer Science major after all)
I personally use it to quickly understand technical words in articles I'm researching for school.
This would be a great default addition for schools/businesses who use Wikipedia regularly!
