Why the “Read and change all your data on the websites you visit” permission?

Also, the “Fork me on GitHub” banner on your website is behind the fancy canvas so we can’t actually click it (Chrome 54).

Great idea otherwise!

Also, a separate domain, wikipediap2p.org, not (obviously) affiliated with wikipedia.org. If it were p2p.wikipedia.org, it would be fine for me.

It says on the page: "This is an unofficial extension and not endorsed by Wikipedia in any way, it's just an implementation of latest web-technologies towards sharing of knowelege."

I think changing the links to point to the cache instead of the original server needs that permission.
