very good
I came to this extension because of its clean simple design—a nice dark grey background with a serif font. A few months ago, they changed the design of Wikiwand. I felt it was unnecessary and I preferred the old layout (I still do), but I grew to live with the new rounded corners and segmented layout. But then came the AI stuff. I have no problem with AI features in general, but it has to add to the experience which Wikiwand's AI doesn't do. I don't want to ask questions about every Wikipedia article. I don't want an ever-present sidebar nagging me to use AI features. I don't want to sign in. I just want to read Wikipedia. Wikiwand still has a nice-looking interface, but it's a downgrade from what it once was
I have been with Wikipedia since the day it appeared. Thank you Wiki for your great effort to provide us with the world of knowledge.
Long time user here wow header, footer, sidebar, and floating ads? really? perhaps you should also insert more ads after every paragraph too You underestimated my adblock-fu but anyway you have shown your true color, and the usage experience it now worse OG wikipedia so I can no longer support or recommend this extension Enjoy your quick ad cash while it last
From a 5 to a 0. Far too many ads! It's ridiculous. Noticed I was using it just for the dark theme, easy uninstall.
Buggy extension causing ads, reinstalled and solved, why have I done this as an user? Should even be developers' job?
The extension now has ads and privacy issues. Aggressive monetization policy has ruined the extension I used for years. The best alternative for this is "Modern for Wikipedia" extension
Suddenly I have ads popping up on wikipedia... the direction the addon is going in is not good.
It now has ads. Wow. You couldn't just let us have a nice thing. Time to uninstall!
On the latest update you'll see a screen of annoying ads on every page you opened... You call this "enhance user experience"? You're destroying user experience. RIDICULOUS.
Pretty sad that the extension has become another AI slop generator with a paid tier for things that used to be free. The brown themes that struck the balance between unreadable black and blinding white are all gone and none of the customization is worth it. It's still better than regular Wikipedia, but not by as large a margin as before. Disappointing development.
Can't you make the A.I. window much smaller. A pictogram would be welcome. Thanks. Personally, I prefer the old layout.
Used to be great, now it's ugly, and is a total cashgrab. Always resets my preferences every time I open it, uninstalling.
I used to love it, and I love the new design even more. However, with the new design even if I log in and make an account (which I never wanted to do) I am non-stop pestered to try AI this, buy premium this which I don't want. If it just worked no accounts or AI anything I would love it.
best extension in the world, u can't prove other
The Best
Changes to font from the original Arial and doesn't give you an option to change it back (even in premium options). Arial is very easy for me to read and so right out of the gate, not having it is a deal breaker.
Loved it for the first couple weeks that I ever used it. Now it's ugly, has AI that no one wants and is a total cashgrab. On top of that, it resets my preferences every other time I reopen Wikipedia. Uninstalled.
It used to be the best way to read Wikipedia, but since the redesign, the UI has become worse than the standard Wiki UI. I don't need AI, I don't like these new fonts (some of them are barely readable), the side panel, the pop up thingies, so I'm afraid I need to say goodbye. It's really a shame, I used to love this extension.
It used to be good, now it shows non sense AI and wants to be a paid app, gotta develop another one, it's not that hard
I look for lists of things such as birds and orchids amongst other things. With Wikiwand it is very complicated using boxes for all kinds of distinct features such as pictures etc.
Very nice interface, I like it.
What a neat and perfect UI modernization! Really cool!
