von Firefox-Benutzer 14095747, vor 8 JahrenI used to like you, Wikiwand. You could have been great. You could have been better than Wikipedia.
But no.
Now you show ads embedded straight in the source code so you bypass adblockers. As an added bonus, they break the page now. Hooray, killing two birds with one stone! Don't even bother blocking them with element hider because they're a hydra; cut off one head it grows another.
Did you piss off your investors? Revenue running on fumes? I'm sorry but you guys have lost my respect for selling out and aggressively pushing ads onto the end user. It's funny because Wikipedia stood against ads and you people decide to go against that, full steam ahead. I doubt that 30% goes to Wikipedia.
Straight to the trash it goes, like it belonged in the first place. It was too good to be true.
If the intrusivity was an honest mistake then I will eat my words. Until then, this review stays.

Antwort des Entwicklers
geschrieben am vor 8 JahrenHi, thanks for the review. We appreciate your comment and so in the recent releases we added the ability to check if the user has an extension or not and so now if you have Firefox extension installed you will see no more ads. Regards

- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon rayreynolds06, vor einem Monat"The developer says this extension doesn't require data collection."
If this is true then why require an account to use this extension? - Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon pandazorus, vor einem Monat
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon JFabianRamirezM, vor 2 MonatenEn la versión web no funciona, en la versión móvil te forza crear un perfil y loggearte con él. Atrás quedó esa idea de software gratuito. Deberían dejar su uso sin necesidad de login y a quienes quieran comprar su basura de IA ahí sí pidan usuario. Convirtieron un excelente addon en basura. Además de que hacen negocio con un wiki que ni siquiera crearon ustedes.

- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon LL, vor 3 MonatenDisgusting that this once amazing app is now profiting on the free wikipedia. The developers should be ashamed of themselves. Uninstalling.
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Johannes Häusler, vor 3 MonatenIt really went down. what once was a nice skin for Wikipedia is now a really ducked up platform where Wikipedia does not profit. It DOES sell data and DOES have paid features so I dont think the extension is correctly disclosing such stuff, which is bad, especially in the EU
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Anvekeen, vor 3 MonatenCan't believe how bad this add-on has become. Shameful
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Frkid, vor 3 MonatenIt was such a good add-on. Shame it turned into this.. whatever this is.
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon sausje, vor 3 MonatenSadly this has gone down the drain. Forcing you to make an account just to sell the data for it.
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 19929310, vor 4 MonatenThat you would take something as pure as free, open-access education, slap a skin on it and try to harvest people's data shows what a bottom feeder this dev is.
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Silvio, vor 4 MonatenForces you to create an account for no apparent reason. Disregard old 5 star reviews, this is trash now. Ensh*ttification at its finest.
- Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Manuel Isaias, vor 4 MonatenThis used to be one of the best. Sad ending.
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Recharger, vor 4 MonatenFinally reached my breaking point with this extension which used to be amazing. Making me register is the last straw. I'll miss the good old days!
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon DadManBlues, vor 4 MonatenThe latest version forces mandatory registration and sign-in. I don't see the point in that at all. I have around 2 dozen Ff plugins in use - none of them forces registration.
I'm sorry, I'll miss you. - Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 14209344, vor 4 Monaten
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon simurq, vor 5 MonatenNewer versions of the addon are getting worse with every release. AI addition is what ruins it, in my opinion. Standard Wikipedia looks prettier and loads easier without the addon's distractors.
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Sushiimi, vor 5 MonatenWikiwand has been great for years but unfortunately, as outlined by many other reviews, has gone downhill after shoehorning in excessive AI integrations and simply becoming non-functioning for basic usage.
- Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon NoxlynU, vor 6 MonatenThe old design was really modern and better than Wikipedia's, and there were many customization options.
However, the new design is way less confortable and customizable.
The only addition is intrusive AI.
Wikipedia is better without Wikiwand now. - Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon huianxin, vor 8 MonatenLike others said, used to be good. Now there's some useless new features. Stop spamming AI in my face. And worst of all, it stopped working! Keeps displaying "Article not found", making it utterly unusable. Way to ruin what was once a great app.

- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Howar31, vor 10 Monatentoo much useless features. settings are not saved keep resetting. and also ads
- Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Luke, vor einem JahrThe extension used to be good but now they're pushing users to subscribe, don't follow dark mode by default anymore (it resets every couple of days or so), and push the AI tab too much.
(And apparently, it has way too much ads, which I don't see because I use an ad blocker anyway)
