AnonSettings is a highly experimental script that allows you to choose a skin, interface language, and (one) gadget while not logged in. It is a work in progress. Use at your own risk!

It is not recommend for logged-in use and (by default) will attempt to uninstall itself if it detects a logged-in session, or a visit to Special:UserLogin. Use your built-in Special:Preferences instead!

AnonSettings requires your browser to support service workers. Currently, Firefox does not support service workers while in private browsing mode.

Installation edit

  2. Log out
  3. Load a page anywhere on en.wikipedia.org
