I want to use this. Looks really nice. I know there are people here who are crying for information density, but I’m not one of them. The majority of people will be happier when there’s room for content to breathe.

My one sadness— no Safari support! Safari has gotten better with its extensions API support.. is it just the the store that’s preventing you?

I think you're missing the mark a bit with the `density` and `room for content to breath` space. While I generally prefer to not hide (common) actions behind menus, and have some (imho) better design to surface these types of things I can accept it. The current trend with giving content all the room and shoving every little action into a pop-out is getting a bit much. We all have massive displays, even on our phones, and we _can_ show the more common actions (in this case, history, edit, etc) instead of hiding everything behind a `...` or a hamburger menu.

If you want safari support, wikipedia.rehash [1] has the option to install as a per-user custom css on wikipedia, so the style can be automatically applied when you log into wikipedia. Hence it works on tablets as well. Its redesign is not as extensive as this project, but the goals are quite similar.

Yeah Safari support is definitely on the TODO, but the requirement for an App Store account made me put that on the backburner for now.
