About
The hover text on XKCD is tricky to view and disappears quickly, often before you can read it. This is a simple extension to display the hover text / alt-text beneath the comic so you no longer have to repeatedly move your mouse over the comic in an attempt to get the text to appear. No fancy settings. No bloat. No extra styling that can get in the way of your XKCD-viewing experience.
