ever heard of the word "enshittification"?

Used to be a great addon but now totally destroyed by the Ads and AI

Enshittification everywhere. Was a very nice plugin to cleanly read wikipedia, now cluttered with AI and ads

They 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.

All 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.

Ad-required, AI-driven slop. Went from premiere readability to money-driven corporation. Do not install.

As many other reviews say. initially a good idea, now, full of AI slop i don't want.

Used 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.

I 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.

This world is gonna get so dumb so fast I can't wait.

They 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.

Used 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.

If I want AI, I'll either build my own local solution with whatever LLM I want for free or go to a website or use a separate app. Wikiwands' entire existence for being is to make the Wikipedia layout easier to read. Nothing else. Don't remake it ever. AI Wand, NOT Wikiwand. Utter JUNK made by JUNK developers, supported by JUNK people.
