One of the more visible features of SOUP is the addition of answers below questions in the review queues. This provides additional context information directly on the review page that one can normally only see by opening the question page in a separate tab.SOUP includes various improvements to MathJax processing on SE sites that have it enabled.Not all problems can be fixed by a client-side script, but sometimes SOUP can work around the problem or alert the user to it, like with this warning about unexpected Markdown parsing behavior.
About this extension
The Stack Overflow Unofficial Patch (SOUP) is a project to collect various minor client-side bug fixes, work-arounds and usability improvements for Stack Overflow and other Q&A sites on the Stack Exchange Network into a single user script. Now, for your convenience, it is available as a Firefox add-on, as well!

The intent of SOUP is not to make any substantial or controversial changes to the Stack Exchange user interface, but to fix minor problems and omissions that the SE developers have overlooked or haven't got around to fixing yet. By combining these minor patches into a single package, they become easier to install and maintain.

For more information, including a list of the included fixes, see the SOUP home page on Stack Apps and the SOUP repository on GitHub.
