Great idea. But please let us control the position and size of the newly added photo viewer. Customisation is part of Wikiwand "credo", so why not do that?

I used to love the UI improvements that Wikiwand made to wikipedia, but now they have filled their website with an AI chatbot, ads, popups, content locked behind an account, and other useless features. I will no longer be using wikiwand.

New layout sucks big time!
This USED to be a good extension.

It used to be good some time ago. Last update made Wikipedia's Main page to appear broken introducing an AI chatbot and most customization features available before (including black theme) are now locked behind a monthly subscription paywall which promotes other AI features.

This extension used to be good, not anymore. Aint paying a single penny. AI horsesht garbage

This takes the collaborative spirit of Wikipedia and warps it into a mess filled with ads and shady connections. (At least) one of the developers has intellectually, materially and technologically benefited a discriminatory settler-colonial regime, which adds a disturbing layer to the whole project. This is the perfect example of 'entrepreneurs' taking someone else's hard work and making money off of it, all the while violating the spirit of the creation. Thanks but no, thanks. I'll stick to the boring old 'outdated' version of the site that the community has been diligently working on for ages instead of this AI filled garbage :)

Edit: forgot to add - check out how many servers worldwide this thing is shaking hands with in the background while you're reading your article on Nabataea or the Achaemenids. You might be terribly surprised.

Edit 2: From the horse's own mouth

Used this forever. But now the AI crap is annoying. Wikipedia has a nice looking site now. I don't need this bloat anymore. Also, don't pay for this mess. Give your money to Wikipedia directly.

Black theme locked behind paywall... unistalled

Muy buen complemento,felicitaciones

The new layout is not needed and the AI features are absolutely useless and not needed. Wikiwand should be a wikipedia rebrand, not adding its own "features" that nobody asked for

please revert to the last version, this update made UI/UX worse.

Needless AI bandwagoning

Horrible user interface change. The developers added a paywall that on top of restricting access to AI features (i.e. summaries, which used to be free), it also now blocks customization through themes and fonts. Moreover, this terrible update made me learn that this product is sharing user data with 'partners'. Uninstalled.

The addon was great until the new update which changed the layout significantly, for the worse.

Terrible ugly unnecessary update

I installed this for the redesign, not for the AI features I do not care about. And now I have to stare at it, even if it's closed.

Wikiwand recently pushed its new "omni" version to main, and it sucks.

they ruined it as of 2024-08-23

wtf happend. Used to be great but newest update ruined it.

The newest update is completely and utter shit, it has taken everything that made wikiwand good and gotten rid of it. It has now paywalled swapping fonts and redesigned the entire site without the possibility of reverting..

wth did you guys do

The recent updates made this tool god awful, probably so you'll pay them money through subscription. All wikiwand is, is wikipedia but a bit prettier. There's no reason to force this onto us.

Used to be great but now it's stuffed full with all this terrible AI nonsense that provides unrelaible information and lies to you.

Recently updated their entire layout to focus even more heavily on premium AI content and hide more Wiki information. Terrible terrible terrible.
