 {{TOC}}Over the years, a number of people have developed various "helpers" to conveniently access a comic's explanation on this wiki when browsing a comic on [https://xkcd.com xkcd.com]. They typically come in three main forms: {{w|browser extensions}}, {{w|userscripts}}, and {{w|bookmarklets}}.
-== Browser extensions ==
+==Browser extensions==
 These browser extensions usually inject elements/code into the xkcd.com comic page's {{w|Document Object Model|DOM}} – often inserting a button or link directly into the xkcd.com comic page itself, to take you to that comic's explanation page. None of these have been tested here.

+==Userscripts==
 {{w|Userscripts}} provide basically the same functions as the browser extensions above, manipulating xkcd.com's DOM to insert buttons/links or otherwise alter the page.  The difference is that you can view/edit the code of these userscripts; however, they require a {{w|userscript manager}} such as {{w|Greasemonkey}} or {{w|Tampermonkey}} to run.  None of these userscripts have been tested here.

+==Bookmarklets==
 Instead of a browser add-on/extension, you can create a ''bookmarklet'' to take you from an xkcd.com comic page to the corresponding explainxkcd.com explanation page.  A {{w|bookmarklet}} is a browser bookmark/favorite, except instead of containing a URL to a webpage, it contains custom {{w|JavaScript}} code to perform the desired operation.  The easiest way to create a bookmarklet in your browser is to first create a normal bookmark/favorite for any webpage, then ''edit'' that new bookmark to paste in the JavaScript code as the new "location"/"URL"/"address" of the bookmark.  General instructions for creating and editing bookmarks in various web browsers are as follows:
