msdn-delocalizer

Sometimes, when looking for Microsoft documentation via a search engine, you may be presented with a link leading to a localized documentation page from Microsoft. Quality of translation varies a lot, but, as English speaker, you may choose to not deal with localization at all, and always look for English pages.

msdn-delocalizer is a browser (Chrome, Firefox) extension that will automatically delocalize Microsoft documentation pages, such as MSDN or docs.microsoft.com.
