Unreadable English Wikipedia on Chrome: Browser Extension for Solution?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a recent change on the English Wikipedia page that switched from using "displaystyle" to "$", rendering the content unreadable for some users on Chrome. A user seeks recommendations for a browser extension to address this issue. Another participant requests clarification with a link and screenshot, indicating confusion about the problem. The original poster later reveals that they resolved their access issue by resetting Chrome settings, which was linked to a firewall problem. They noted that disabling the firewall allowed access to the English Wikipedia, while other language versions remained accessible without issues.

The English Wikipedia page seemingly changed from using "displaystyle" to "$" with the consequence that I can't use it anymore on Chrome. It is simply unreadable. Does anyone know a good browser extension to solve the problem?

I don't understand, can you provide a link and a screenshot?

As soon as I can load it at all. I tried an extension and it seems it blocked access, even after deinstallation. English is now the only language version I have no access to.
 
I solved the problem with a reset of the Chrome settings. It was apparently a firewall issue. I can read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page if I shut off my firewall, but only then. Strange, since all other language versions work.

Thanks.

Thread 'AI and Ethics in Journalism: The Sports Illustrated Scandal'

Interesting article about an AI writing scandal at Sports Illustrated: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/29/opinions/sports-illustrated-ai-controversy-leitch/index.html I hadn't heard about it in real-time, which is probably indicative about how far SI has fallen*. In short, the article discusses how SI was caught using AI and worse fake reporter photos/profiles to write game summaries. Game summaries are the short articles that summarize last night's Phillies game. They are so formulaic that...
