The only difference I notice between this and Wikipedia is that I can't hover over a link and get a pop-up description of the page. Is that all or is there more to it?

From the README [0] and code, I'd wager that the only thing happening is that JS has been filtered out, that the CSP rules are significantly stricter and that a dark mode has been added.
