Switched 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.

You killed what was useful and made it into trash.

Used to be good, now just full of premium pop-ups, AI, and selling user data.

Bring back the Pre-AI version... New version is garbage... Have opted for a different extension

It used to be good before they started shoving their premium AI tools down your throat. Better to just use Wikipedia at this point

This 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.

I 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.

Used 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.

Thanks God

I 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!

Please 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

Were 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.

Used 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.

Used to be lightweight and unobtrusive. Bloated with unnecessary AI features now.

It 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.

It was good. Now it's obnoxious.

What 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.

In all previous versions, Wikiwand was a really nice UI overhaul for Wikipedia. I essentially used it as a dark mode theme, with nicer typesetting. I enjoyed having a modern looking, easy to read, and distraction-free Wiki experience. That was my entire use case.

The recent update was a large overhaul to Wikiwand. So much so, that it doesn't feel right to even compare this version to the last. The newest update brought a whole lot of nonsense from "AI powered" popups, larger than half-the-screen coverup login prompts (an account for *what* purpose?), and visual distractions like the new AI chat and Q/A sections.

Ultimately, this new version departs completely from my use case and my taste, and its functionality is replaced by Dark Reader and Wikipedia's own modern theme.

Thanks for the happy years, Wikiwand. For your final trick, you can vanish from my extensions list.
