| 2024-12-11 | Marty | | Such an extension is just pure nonsense, because you can use Wikipedia offline even without this extension, because Wikipedia creates a PDF file of the articles at the user's request. |

| 2022-03-03 | LarryNG | | I have been using Kiwix for over four years on a secured offline computer. The sole purpose has been to be able to access Wiktionary definitions of foreign words. For my needs, Kiwix has been hugely valuable and useful. Too, using Kiwix is far faster than using Wiktionary online. |
