Rated 3 out of 5
by pulsar14, 2 years agoVery good Layout but ... audio reading should be fixed. 1st the reading velocity is not the one set in windows speech; 2nd, the voice type always reset to the 1st available in the list. E.g. If I choose Susan as my preferred ENG voice, why do I have to re-set Susan voice every time I want to listen instead of David (the 1st in the voices list)? 3rd, the reading voice should start from the top row visible on the screen, not at start of the entire doc.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Haltarys, 14 days agoThe 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) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19053100, a month agoUsed 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?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Sciky, 3 months agoThis used to be a great extension, but now it's a bloatware full of ads for its AI, what a shame
- Rated 1 out of 5by Indiana Moon, 3 months agoIt does not "enhance user experience" as stated in the add-on description section. It was good once.
Enshittification! - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19063414, 3 months agoWikiwand 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.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19035698, 4 months agoEnshittification everywhere. Was a very nice plugin to cleanly read wikipedia, now cluttered with AI and ads
- Rated 1 out of 5by LCM, 4 months agoThey 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.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Milan Regec, 4 months agoAll 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.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Toccetness, 5 months agoAd-required, AI-driven slop. Went from premiere readability to money-driven corporation. Do not install.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17669402, 5 months agoAs many other reviews say. initially a good idea, now, full of AI slop i don't want.
