Ads?? Are you joking? Uninstalled. A pity, because the extension was pretty, but ads are an absolute no-go.

Uninstalled the moment they put ads on Wikipedia. Sleazy and only 30% of their revenue goes to wikipedia. Completely shameless and I will never use your product again.

This addon was pretty cool, but trying to make money off of Wikipedia articles with ads is sleazy. Uninstalled.

Ads on top of the page is too much. It was once my favourite extension, just sad to see it sell itself to ruin user experience.

Wikiwand used to be great, but now adds a line of shitty advertisement on top of wikipedia. Sad to see one my favorite wiki improvements turn to this :(

Update for 2026: Those days are gone forever. The extension doesn't work anyway anymore, and Wikipedia has introduced new appearance styles (like dark mode, etc.) which will have to do now that I am joining the many others who once loved the extension and are now deleting it.

Beautifully and neatly transforms Wikipedia articles on-the-fly from its legacy appearance and handling into 21st century look-and-feel, including some customizable visual settings (like serif and sans letterforms and a dark theme!) and great easy-access features like:
- Access less often used Wikipedia tools, such as editing, history and discussion pages, in the menu bar (the legacy Wikipedia site is opened in a separate tab).
- Easily switch the displayed language of an article if it is available in any of your preferred languages.
- Tap CTRL twice to toggle the search field for additional Wikipedia material.
- Mouse-over a link to another article to not only display a pop-up window intro of the article, but also to open the article in another tab (without having to hold down a key).

Beautiful but this is not an extension that modernize wikipedia, is a redirect extension to another site.

Schlecht. Die alte Wikipedia ist auch gut.

Ohne Add-On:
1. Rechts neben der Adresse befindet sich ein Icon für einen verbesserten Reader mit der Seitenfarbe Speia und Vorlesefunktion
2. Bei Wikipedia kann man eine "Link - Vorschau" mit dem letzten Link in der Leiste ganz unten aktivieren

Wikipedia works just fine.
