Wikiwand - knowledge, with context by Wikiwand
Review by Mtro
Rated 1 out of 5
by Mtro, a month agoUsed to be a very nice wikipedia skin. But like so many things, it's been turned into a business that adds all kind of things I don't want--especially AI. I'll just go back to regular wikipedia.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13917435, 5 days agoIt used to be very good. I am sorry to say but the actual Wikipedia website offers a cleaner, and better experience than this riddled with unnecessary feature(s) add-on.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Parakeet709, 5 days agoSwitched to another extension after all these AI features rolled out. Just wanted to change the look of articles, but now I can't even do that because its bundled with the paid AI features. If you're looking for a modern and sleek way to make Wikipedia look nice, either get Dark Reader, which lets you keep the default design but make it dark mode, or Modern for Wikipedia, which makes it look nicer, lets you change between shades from white to black and a light brown, and lastly lets you adjust stuff with the text.
I was not sponsored to say this, by the way, this is just my own opinion. I love the style of Wikiwand, but the AI features being forced on causing other design features to be behind a paywall caused me to list alternatives for people reading this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mouad, 12 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18655778, 21 days agoUsed to be good, now just full of premium pop-ups, AI, and selling user data.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13885454, 25 days agoBring back the Pre-AI version... New version is garbage... Have opted for a different extension
- Rated 2 out of 5by blackrose, 25 days agoIt used to be good before they started shoving their premium AI tools down your throat. Better to just use Wikipedia at this point
- Rated 1 out of 5by Pierson Moore, 25 days agoThis extension has become unusable. I don't want to sign in to save my formatting settings, it takes 4 clicks to get rid of the stupid popup and then you also have to clear the AI popup. I really don't care if Wikiwand has AI in it or not but stop shoving it down our throats. set it off to the corner of the page and don't open the AI chat/summary until the user requests it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6186021, a month agoI was deeply impressed by perfect German and "knowledge". My question was very specific. I was not able to find any information by myself (google, wiki, an so on). So I said to myself: let's ask Wikiwand. The rest you know. WOW.
I will recommend Wikiwand to all my friends. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18641858, a month agoI loved Wikiwand for years but the AI stuff is just too much. I don't want AI to dumb down a Wikipedia article for me, I can read just fine thanks! The rest of your features are not worth the headache of popups begging me to use AI so I'll pay for more functionality. Uninstalling!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Fuseteam, a month agoPlease let me opt-out the ai slop, i do not want to log in for ai features and i'd to like say that **once**, not every time i visit wikipedia
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15046301, a month agoWere the new AI features worth losing thousands of users? Your job is to pretty up wikipedia, not nagging me every time to login and use AI features. Bye bye.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Cobra, a month agoUsed to be a great way of reading Wikipedia with much nicer visuals. I've used it for *years*. Now it has useless AI barf all over it and a bunch of things behind a paywall. Sorry, but I'm out. Modern for Wikipedia is a much nicer alternative.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18625533, a month agoUsed to be lightweight and unobtrusive. Bloated with unnecessary AI features now.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Sebi, 2 months agoIt used to be a really great extension that made Wikipedia much nicer. And then a "genius" came up with the idea of integrating AI - and monetization at every turn. A great reading experience becomes a supermarket advertisement. Horrible. Everything ruined after so many years.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17871572, 2 months agoWhat a great addon it was! One of my essentials. 5/5 for like, years. You can **** off with this AI *** though. Not even gonna install it ever again, seeing if something has changed. You're done. 1/5, never recommending it to my friends, never trying it again. You've had one "job".... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Also, Wiki has a dark mode now. This is all some of us needed. Thanks for ******* it up. - Rated 1 out of 5by PsCxLT, 2 months ago
