- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18813715, a month agoReally good addon, does exactly what it is supposed to. there is just one feature that the competitor (wikiwand) has, that modern has not: inverting the colors of images (svgs) with transparent backgrounds. This would be extremely helpful to make stuff like graphs and plots with transparent background and black font for axis descriptions more legible in dark modes. If this was added, id give 5 stars.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Octavian, 6 months agoWhat can be improved:
1. How links are shown. Wikiwand does a great job at this with their ability to underline links, without the color being blue.
2. How photos are shown in media viewer. A more modern, minimalism approach is necessary. - Rated 4 out of 5by Martijn, a year agoVery well-made extension, does excellent beauty and ux improvements. Deducting a star because the language switcher really misses some kind of "favourite/pinned" language(s), searching for it in a big list each time is annoying. The dark themes aren't quite to my liking either; they are very functional but not pretty (I use slate, it's ok).
- Rated 4 out of 5by Daniel, 2 years agoThe search box option links are broken. They can't be selected.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Cirnos, 3 years agoSome parts are still in white even though I turned on dark mode
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ory Band, 3 years agoWorks great on LTR languages, but fonts are bad for RTL, specifically Hebrew, and the setting controls are all reverted and confusing.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Sophia, 3 years agoCool but how the hell do I change the settings and theme everyone is talking about.? There are no options in the extension or the wikipedia website.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Rodion Borisov, 3 years agoThis brings an enjoyable experience to reading Wikipedia... except the dark theme has some serious problem with blockquotes: background is same white as for text. I think it's a wrong choice of contrast to overall dim theme, and I would love to see it fixed.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17284830, 3 years agoCould you please add light grey background, like this one on firefox website.
Well done on making this extension!
Edit: Also adding "most recent languages" or letting us to put one language of our choice at the top of "change language menu", would be helpful. Developer response
posted 3 years agoThe latest update includes fixes for the Chinese version, so it should be working now :)- Rated 4 out of 5by PARANOIA, 3 years agoUnsure if this is a bug with using this on an ultrawide monitor but the size difference between the 3rd and 2nd largest column widths is too drastic - would prefer at least another 2 sizes in between. A "warm" dark mode would be nice as well.

posted 3 years agoThanks for the suggestion, more widths have been added to the slider in the latest update to give better support for large screens. More themes coming soon :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17181041, 3 years agoGreat extension, however for Persian (a right to left language) somehow this extension fails to fully work and shows dark theme as light instead.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 11386136, 3 years agoSuggestion: Make left sidebar actually collapsible so that content can take more space when zooming on smaller screen. I'll keep using the Mobile Wikipedia extension since it allows for a better use of screen estate. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mobile-wikipedia-webextension/

posted 3 years agoThanks for the suggestion, the left sidebar has now been updated to work like that in the latest update :) - Rated 4 out of 5by uncoolcentral, 3 years agoI appreciate that some will find this an preferable to default Wikipedia, but I found nothing to like about it. It's well implemented, but it wasn't for me. Not even close.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14315579, 3 years agoSuggestion: Since everything is bigger (fontsize, left panel, etc) the content should be full page. No need for this right margin now.

posted 3 years agoThanks for the suggestion. If you set the content width slider in the settings to max, it does use 100% width (no margins). But there will be more control over this in the next update :)
