- Rated 4 out of 5by Thomas, 2 years agoGreat extension and would give it 5 stars, if the "random wikipedia page" setting actually shows a random article and not an index of unusual articles! :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15888921, 4 years agoI love it !!! It's both funny and instructive
If I had a critique it would only be on the fact that it loads the page from browser instead of being embedded into a new tab : what it does that's annoying is the fact that there's a link written in the search bar when I open a new tab now, and most of the time I forget to ctrl+A then delete and just search "whateverhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/heyitsannoying" into google, wich is annoying
Having a blank search bar all the time would be great - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13113718, 5 years agoMy productivity noticeably suffers when I use this add-on. On the upside, I always have some weird trivial fact at the ready to bore someone with at a party.
Great work! - Rated 4 out of 5by Geoffrey De Belie, 6 years agoA great idea. I would like to see random pages from other language Wikipedia's as well.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14754397, 6 years agoGood idea ext. But inability to custom range wikipe topics and focus on address bar when new tab is disappointing. That is half reasons why not using.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14716302, 6 years agoThis extension is worthy of 5 stars, but I'm not gonna use it more than the 10 minutes i sat looking at animated crosswalk lights on wikipedia, it's predatory to my productivity xD

- Rated 4 out of 5by Josias, 7 years agoAwesome. I don't think I will use this because I like a normal new tab though,
- Rated 3 out of 5by Cináed, 7 years agoThis is fucking awesome.
Edit: Gets annoying when you are opening a new tab and after writing something in the URL the whole thing gets replaced by a Wikipedia page. So I have to wait for the Wikipedia URL to come before writing and that takes a second.Developer response

posted 7 years agoGreat idea, thank you! Made an issue here: https://github.com/daiyi/random-wikipedia-newtab-extension/issues/2 - Rated 5 out of 5by Vermilian, 7 years agoWorks exactly as described. Simple and effective. I'd like to see more options and explanations. Does the default "random unusual wikipedia page" setting include both the other two options? ("cognitive biases" and "philosophical concepts") I haven't seen any yet, but it has only been a few days. Also, what defines "unusual wikipedia page", is there a list maintained somewhere, or is it based on some dataset?
Thanks for the great add-on!!
