xkcd explainer: Detailed explanations for xkcd comics

xkcd explainer is a free Chrome add-on developed by Avadonia314. This browser extension provides detailed explanations for xkcd comics, making it easier for users to understand the content and references within each comic. The add-on displays the explanations below the comic image for convenient access.

The explanations are sourced from the explain xkcd wiki and are parsed into HTML format by the extension. Users can expect to find various formatting elements such as headings, subheadings, bold and italic text, bullet points, sub-bullet points, internal and external links, quotes, citation needed links, tables, TV Tropes links, and references/footnotes.

It's important to note that since the explanations are contributed by individuals, recently uploaded comics may not have explanations available immediately. Additionally, some explanations may be incomplete and are continually updated. Users who are interested in contributing to the community and enhancing the experience for other xkcd viewers can visit the explainxkcd.com wiki.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
