by Firefox user 14067906, 5 years agoAll they do is taking Wikipedia's hard work and making money out of it (which Wikipedia has always refused). Everyone's free to make money if done legally but that's a rude way of doing it (since Wikipedia lives from donations). My old laptop can't run it since Wikiwand is so modern. My last concern is that when the addon has been installed, even if you go to Wikipedia you'll be redirected
Btw, the sidebar doesnt work properly on pages with a lot of headers https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Collatz_conjecture

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19035698, 8 days agoEnshittification everywhere. Was a very nice plugin to cleanly read wikipedia, now cluttered with AI and ads
- Rated 1 out of 5by LCM, 14 days agoThey had the nerve to actually BLOCK people from accessing entire wikipedia pages. You are required to watch an ad before you can access the page. This is allegedly to have access to their "wikicontent," which is not needed or desired. This app used to be good. But pulling this crap was a step too far. You CANNOT BLOCK ACCESS TO WIKIPEDIA TO MAKE MONEY FROM ADS.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Milan Regec, 25 days agoAll it does now is infest your Wikipedia with ads. Don't bother installing and I highly recommend uninstalling it if you already did so. Even when uninstalled, it keeps coming back and keeps stealing all Wikipedia links.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Toccetness, a month agoAd-required, AI-driven slop. Went from premiere readability to money-driven corporation. Do not install.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Wolphie, 2 months agoUsed to be a great extension/addon. Ruined by AI slop that apparently needs to appear everywhere now. Plus constant popups everywhere if cookies are cleared. Sad to see such a beautiful piece of work fall so low.
- Rated 1 out of 5by winphreak, 3 months agoI can't wait until the AI screws up all the detailed trivia bits or simple math for a article summary.
Also if Wikiepedia is too hard to read for you, you should probably finish middle school.

- Rated 2 out of 5by ShodanV3, 3 months agoThey ruined the BEST wikipedia addon with AI. It's bloat now. If I wanted that, I'd just ask AI for info instead of using wikipedia. Please do a lite version without it or something.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17046154, 3 months agoUsed to be a solid add-on, but now pesters the user to login for "AI tools" every time a Wikipedia link is visited, causing unnecessary bloat and wasting the user's time. Why they absolutely ruined a good add-on is beyond me.
