| 2024-11-11 | Firefox user 13917435 | | It used to be very good. I am sorry to say but the actual Wikipedia website offers a cleaner, and better experience than this riddled with unnecessary feature(s) add-on. |
| 2024-11-10 | Parakeet709 | | Switched to another extension after all these AI features rolled out. Just wanted to change the look of articles, but now I can't even do that because its bundled with the paid AI features. If you're looking for a modern and sleek way to make Wikipedia look nice, either get Dark Reader, which lets you keep the default design but make it dark mode, or Modern for Wikipedia, which makes it look nicer, lets you change between shades from white to black and a light brown, and lastly lets you adjust stuff with the text. I was not sponsored to say this, by the way, this is just my own opinion. I love the style of Wikiwand, but the AI features being forced on causing other design features to be behind a paywall caused me to list alternatives for people reading this. |

| 2024-10-26 | Firefox user 18655778 | | Used to be good, now just full of premium pop-ups, AI, and selling user data. |
| 2024-10-22 | Firefox user 13885454 | | Bring back the Pre-AI version... New version is garbage... Have opted for a different extension |
| 2024-10-21 | blackrose | | It used to be good before they started shoving their premium AI tools down your throat. Better to just use Wikipedia at this point |
