av Celena, 6 måneder sidenThis 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.

- Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Indiana Moon, én måned sidenIt does not "enhance user experience" as stated in the add-on description section. It was good once.
Enshittification! - Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 19063414, én måned sidenWikiwand 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.

- Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av LCM, 2 måneder sidenThey 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.

- Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Milan Regec, 2 måneder sidenAll 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.

- Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Toccetness, 2 måneder sidenAd-required, AI-driven slop. Went from premiere readability to money-driven corporation. Do not install.

- Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Wolphie, 4 måneder sidenUsed to be a great extension/addon. Ruined by AI slop that apparently needs to appear everywhere now. Plus constant popups everywhere if cookies are cleared. Sad to see such a beautiful piece of work fall so low.
