- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14233115, 7 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, 7 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13741010, 7 years agoWikiwand was the greatest Wikipedia add-on ever. Now they totally screwed it up with the most intrusive, useless ads I've seen in a long time. If only they were even remotely related to the content at hand, but no, they're totally random and add no value at all. Also, they're seemingly immune to ad blockers, because as soon as you pick up the elements to block, the whole page UI gets messed up. Disgusting.
Guys, you need revenue? There are better ways, I'm sure.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi, thanks for the review. We appreciate your comment and so in the recent releases we added the ability to check if the user has an extension or not and so now if you have Firefox extension installed you will see no more ads.
