About

G-Badges

G-Badges is a browser extension that enhances your search experience. It adds a small [G] badge next to Wikipedia links on Google, DuckDuckGo, and other search engines. This badge indicates that an equivalent article exists on Grokipedia.

This extension does not redirect or modify the original Wikipedia links. It simply provides an optional, direct link to the Grokipedia alternative.



✨ FEATURES

• Simple Badges: Adds a [G] badge next to Wikipedia links that exist on Grokipedia.
• Badge-Click Navigation: Click the [G] badge to open the Grokipedia page in your current tab.
• Non-Intrusive: The original Wikipedia link is untouched. Clicking "Wikipedia" still takes you to Wikipedia.
• User Consent: A simple, one-time "I Understand" prompt is shown on first use.
• Full Control: You can easily toggle the badges on or off from the extension's popup menu.

🚦 BADGE STATUS

• [...] Checking: Verifying if the Grokipedia page exists.
• [G] Link Found: The page exists. Click the badge to navigate.
• [✗] Missing: This page is not available on Grokipedia.

🚀 HOW TO USE & TEST

  1. Install the extension.
  2. Go to Google and search for a major topic (e.g., "Albert Einstein").
  3. The Consent Dialog will appear. Click "I Understand, Continue" to activate the badges.
  4. Reload the search page.
  5. You should now see a [...] badge appear next to the Wikipedia link, which quickly changes to [G].

TEST THE FUNCTIONALITY

  • Test 1 (Badge Link): Click the [G] badge. You should be taken to the Grokipedia page.
  • Test 2 (Original Link): Go back to Google. Click the original "Albert Einstein - Wikipedia" link. You should be taken to the Wikipedia page.
  • Test 3 (Fallback): Search for an obscure or random page. The badge should resolve to [✗], indicating no page was found.
