I am tired of manually going through the menu and selecting Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) whenever I browse a new Wikipedia article. So I created Taiwan Friendly Wikipedia, a Google Chrome extension to automatically redirect to the Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) variant when reading Chinese articles. Users can switch off the automatic redirection in the options. »
