- Rated 2 out of 5by Igor , 6 years agoLatest version is suspicious. It says only "small fixes", but it asks for additional permissions - access browser activity! Besides that nice add-on.

posted 6 years agoThis webNavigation permission is needed for us in order to be able to set cookie for the wikiwand.com domain when your page is loaded. We need this cookie to let our backend know if the corresponding user has the wikiwand extension or not. Later we will sync functionality of the Firefox extension with the Chrome extension and, for instance, Firefox user will have an ability to Ctrl+Click on terms and give immediate Wikiwand pop-up with term definition. To implement such a thing we need to have an ability to inject our client JS scripts into the pages. Please refer our Chrome web store where you will find more details about further functionality - Rated 5 out of 5by shark_bloody, 6 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14233115, 6 years agoOversimplies and has ads for the extension itself, which doesn't make sense. It actually says,
"Enjoying Wikiwand?
Give good old Wikipedia a great new look:
Get Wikiwand"
with "Get Wikiwand" as a clickable button to this extension page, which conveniently guided me to the review section so as to leave a poor review. Great work, dev, advertise to use the extension within the extension.
The whole extension removes utility from Wiki while replacing it with ads for itself. Especially if you are a wiki contributor, stay away from this toxic extension and don't be dazzled by it's semi-modern and over-simplified UI - Rated 5 out of 5by Olivier, 6 years ago
