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"?

Used to be a great addon but now totally destroyed by the Ads and AI

Enshittification everywhere. Was a very nice plugin to cleanly read wikipedia, now cluttered with AI and ads

They 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.

All 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.

As many other reviews say. initially a good idea, now, full of AI slop i don't want.
