Finally 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!

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.

I'm sorry, I'll miss you.

Newer 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.

Wikiwand 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.

The 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.

This addon has been very unstable lately. It struggles to load articles and fails to load previews. This was a great reskin of wikipedia that made the interface cleaner to use, but today they rolled out a reskin that makes it look like a mobile app for some reason. They also removed perhaps the one useful functionality they had, show definition for highlighted word.

Like 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.

too much useless features. settings are not saved keep resetting. and also ads

Не работает в РФ.

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)

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?

was a good addon until constant ai ads

Use it constantly — no issues at all

This used to be a great extension, but now it's a bloatware full of ads for its AI, what a shame

ruined by AI

It does not "enhance user experience" as stated in the add-on description section. It was good once.
Enshittification!

Wikiwand was great, but now it's infested with AI popups, ads and the constant bugging to make an account. A shame because it used to be a great tool, now it's more work to click all the nonsense away.

ever heard of the word "enshittification"?
