Über diese Erweiterung
Wikipedia alongside Google Search.
GooWi adds a concise, contextually relevant Wikipedia companion beside Google Search results. It is designed to restore useful encyclopedic context without replacing Google or Wikipedia.
Features
Wikipedia remains the destination
Normal GooWi mode deliberately presents a condensed preview. Readers who want the complete article are directed to Wikipedia. Wikirace is the exception because gameplay requires access to the full supported article.
Privacy
GooWi has no analytics, advertising, telemetry, user accounts, persistent identifiers, or developer-operated backend service.
To provide its features, GooWi sends the current Google search term — or text explicitly selected by the user with View in GooWi — directly to the relevant Wikipedia language edition so Wikipedia can return matching encyclopedia content.
The developer does not receive or retain users’ search terms or selected-text lookups through GooWi.
GooWi requires Firefox 140 or later and uses Firefox’s built-in consent experience for required data transmission.
