- 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 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 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14503325, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19040033, a year agoUsed to be a great addon but now totally destroyed by the Ads and AI
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ally Simy, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19035698, a year agoEnshittification everywhere. Was a very nice plugin to cleanly read wikipedia, now cluttered with AI and ads
- Rated 1 out of 5by LCM, a year agoThey had the nerve to actually BLOCK people from accessing entire wikipedia pages. You are required to watch an ad before you can access the page. This is allegedly to have access to their "wikicontent," which is not needed or desired. This app used to be good. But pulling this crap was a step too far. You CANNOT BLOCK ACCESS TO WIKIPEDIA TO MAKE MONEY FROM ADS.
