Wikipedia-Donation-Destroyer

This is a simple Google Chrome Extension which does 3 simple things:

  1. Blocks the Wikipedia "Donate or Wikipedia will die in 3 minutes!" popups.
  2. Displays the true financials of Wikipedia in a small, closable box.
  3. Provides a "See if this page is available on Grokipedia" link.

The Wikipedia Donation Destroyer will also display financial data for other Tech Foundations if you are on their websites.

Just for good measure.
