- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18570609, 6 months agoThe 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
- Rated 1 out of 5by Davide, 7 months agoplease revert to the last version, this update made UI/UX worse.
- Rated 1 out of 5by kimiz, 7 months agoHorrible 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Cliesens, 7 months agoThe addon was great until the new update which changed the layout significantly, for the worse.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17545258, 7 months agoI 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Sophon96, 7 months agoWikiwand recently pushed its new "omni" version to main, and it sucks.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Fjell, 7 months agoThe 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..
- Rated 1 out of 5by embyveddii, 7 months agoThe 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Axolotl, 7 months agoUsed 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. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17276406, 10 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by phat_sumo, a year agoWikiwand's styling is great, but I wish they were more transparent about the data they collect from users. Additionally, ctrl+click constantly breaks and opens links in the same tab, which is infuriating. I wish that basic functionality like this worked consistently.

- Rated 1 out of 5by TyrellTheChaotic, a year agoJust absolutely broken. I could no longer use Wikipedia because after a few lines the page would 404.
- Rated 1 out of 5by AMC, 2 years agoI used it for a long time and in the last few months has completely broken, leaving me unable to load Wikipedia at all without disabling it.
They started pushing "AI" based crap into it at the same time.
The structural choices they made with the new layout broke other tools ability to summarize and excerpt articles as well.
After month of breakages and AI marketing ads BS I gave up and moved to Modern for Wikipedia. I would recommend you do the same. - Rated 1 out of 5by EllieM, 2 years agoSevere dislexea an I had to uninstal as extension got bad. serif fonts is hard to read so i use wikiwand for years to make it easy for reading wikipeda pages. but on new version it always dos serif titles but no problem coulld still go back an use old layout with easy fonts. i email them to say serif problem got no reply. left reviews for extensions got no reply. now they just remove option to go back to layout 1. so now i can only use the other wikpedia extension that is better than this because they just made this really bad for dislexia people and im sad.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13808270, 2 years agoIt was a 5 star extension, but the new layout sucks imo. It also lied about being able to revert back to the old layout at any time.
I don't want any of this AI crap, I just want the old layout. It was simple, easy to understand, and looked good. That's all I wanted, I don't care about any of this other added stuff. - Rated 1 out of 5by Simon Yeung, 2 years agoDo not install this. Multiple advertisements are everywhere blocking most of the wiki content. Sounds good but look terrible and annoying. I delete this apps within a minute after installation seems it's may steal your private info...
