Wikiwand - Wikipedia Modernized by Wikiwand
Review by informationsuperriver
Rated 1 out of 5
by informationsuperriver, 6 years agoIf you put wikiwand under the markup's blacklight, you'll find 24 ad trackers (7x times the normal) and 38 third-party-cookies. Not surprising, but also not worth it. Spy on someone else.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Frkid, 21 hours agoIt was such a good add-on. Shame it turned into this.. whatever this is.
- Rated 1 out of 5by sausje, 6 days agoSadly this has gone down the drain. Forcing you to make an account just to sell the data for it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19929310, 8 days agoThat you would take something as pure as free, open-access education, slap a skin on it and try to harvest people's data shows what a bottom feeder this dev is.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Silvio, 10 days agoForces you to create an account for no apparent reason. Disregard old 5 star reviews, this is trash now. Ensh*ttification at its finest.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Recharger, 15 days agoFinally reached my breaking point with this extension which used to be amazing. Making me register is the last straw. I'll miss the good old days!
- Rated 1 out of 5by DadManBlues, 19 days agoThe latest version forces mandatory registration and sign-in. I don't see the point in that at all. I have around 2 dozen Ff plugins in use - none of them forces registration.
I'm sorry, I'll miss you. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14209344, 24 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by simurq, 2 months agoNewer versions of the addon are getting worse with every release. AI addition is what ruins it, in my opinion. Standard Wikipedia looks prettier and loads easier without the addon's distractors.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Sushiimi, 2 months agoWikiwand has been great for years but unfortunately, as outlined by many other reviews, has gone downhill after shoehorning in excessive AI integrations and simply becoming non-functioning for basic usage.
- Rated 2 out of 5by NoxlynU, 2 months agoThe old design was really modern and better than Wikipedia's, and there were many customization options.
However, the new design is way less confortable and customizable.
The only addition is intrusive AI.
Wikipedia is better without Wikiwand now. - Rated 1 out of 5by huianxin, 4 months agoLike others said, used to be good. Now there's some useless new features. Stop spamming AI in my face. And worst of all, it stopped working! Keeps displaying "Article not found", making it utterly unusable. Way to ruin what was once a great app.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Howar31, 7 months agotoo much useless features. settings are not saved keep resetting. and also ads
- Rated 1 out of 5by Haltarys, 8 months agoThe extension used to be good but now they're pushing users to subscribe, don't follow dark mode by default anymore (it resets every couple of days or so), and push the AI tab too much.
(And apparently, it has way too much ads, which I don't see because I use an ad blocker anyway) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19053100, 9 months agoUsed to be really good, now it's infested with ads (ON A WIKIPEDIA SKIN, a notably ad free site) and AI bullshit everywhere, asking for a subscription. It also automatically blocks access to actual wikipedia, by automatically rerouting every article to their skin of it. No even entering the wikipedia website manually can you there with this extension installed. Where can i just get this extension, but how it was 2 or 3 years ago?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Sciky, 10 months agoThis used to be a great extension, but now it's a bloatware full of ads for its AI, what a shame
- Rated 1 out of 5by Indiana Moon, a year agoIt does not "enhance user experience" as stated in the add-on description section. It was good once.
Enshittification! - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19063414, a year agoWikiwand was great, but now it's infested with AI popups, ads and the constant bugging to make an account. A shame because it used to be a great tool, now it's more work to click all the nonsense away.
