2023-12-15 generic This doesn't work. First I had to search reviews to find out how to use it (button in search bar), but the button requests a log in to my account. When clicked, this goes to wikipedia website which I was already logged in to. Tried logging in and out, not working. What is the point of this?

2023-06-16 jellybeanfeind Handy for the sake of just adding something to my saved articles, but I wish I actually had access to my saved lists on desktop, both for saving articles and pulling them back up. At least it does what it says it does on the tin.

2023-05-29 Dawid Ferenczy The extension allows to save a Wikipedia article to the default reading list. But that's it, it doesn't implement any other reading list feature - a particular reading list to save the article into cannot be selected, it's not possible to remove the article from a reading list, reading lists cannot be managed or even viewed, so it's actually a "write-only" feature - you can save articles, but you cannot view them, so it's close to useless. I'm using the reading lists to save articles I'm interested in while on a mobile phone to read and research them later while on a desktop computer. But there's unfortunately no way to access those reading lists on a desktop.

2022-08-21 xfox360 Would love the addon because the idea is great. But it doesn't even show up. :( EDIT: its in the address bar lmao You should make it a bit easier to see visually.
2022-07-30 Firefox user 16339559 It's better than nothing. It does only one thing: add articles to your account's default reading list with a single click; you can not view or edit the contents of any reading list via desktop browser, however, since I typically want to save articles while I'm on desktop to read on my phone later when I get a spare moment, and not vice versa, this is adequate for my purposes.
