This used to be a good extension, which I used for many years across different browsers and devices. Today I've had enough and I'm going to uninstall it.
Before they started remaking it, it was very good. It was essentially a better layout for Wikipedia with not much else to it, but that's why I liked it. It made it clearer to read, easier to use, and just overall felt like a more updated version of Wikipedia's UI. Combined with an ad blocker, it was perfect. However, since the remake, it is worthless. It is so bloated. The majority of the page is taken up with AI stuff, and it wants you to use it constantly. It has made the layout even more confusing - while before I felt like it was very intuitive and more Wikipedia like, now it's just added so much more junk and confusing elements. Wikipedia is way easier to use.
With this latest update, I'm done. I was already getting frustrated with the way pictures were handled. If you clicked on it, there would be various bits of information that covered over part of the picture. Then there was so much blackspace that it wasn't always that much more visible than in the article. You zoom in and it's barely better. Now, I tried to look at the picture it used for the cover image, which no longer shows up in the sidebar as well. I clicked on it, and it was much the same as it used to be, although the information/other pictures below now fades away. Good! However I tried zooming in, because it was still not a big picture. It not only barely zoomed in, but moved the maybe two pixels bigger image around with my cursor. So now I had a very vaguely enlarged picture of some people that bounced around as I tried to exit out of it. Cool!!!!!! Good thing I never use Wikipedia to look at things like art as someone who enjoys art history!!!
The AI is too much, the paywall is too much, the needing to have a separate account for it is too much. And now they have continued to just make the UI worse and worse. I'm done here. I'm so sad that this has gone this way. I'm so disappointed. They had something good and it's useless now. I'd rather use normal Wikipedia, and that's the first time I've said that in many years.

- 5 段階中 1 の評価Johannes Häusler によるレビュー (6日前)It 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

- 5 段階中 1 の評価DadManBlues によるレビュー (1ヶ月前)The 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.

- The 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) - 5 段階中 1 の評価Firefox ユーザー 19053100 によるレビュー (9ヶ月前)Used to be really good, now it's infested with ads (ON A WIKIPEDIA SKIN, a notably ad free site) and AI bullshit everywhere, asking for a subscription. It also automatically blocks access to actual wikipedia, by automatically rerouting every article to their skin of it. No even entering the wikipedia website manually can you there with this extension installed. Where can i just get this extension, but how it was 2 or 3 years ago?
