2: By disabling javascript for wikipedia: (Permanent blackout disable)
You see, when you open a english wikipedia page, first  it opens and then the black page comes. It is because, they are using a javascript for blackout the english pages, so if you disable javascript for wikipedia into your browser then you can simply see the original page.
To do so:
1. openchrome://settings/contentExceptions#javascript into your browser
2. block javascript for en.wikipedia.org
