- Rated 4 out of 5by Octavian, 3 months agoWhat can be improved:
1. How links are shown. Wikiwand does a great job at this with their ability to underline links, without the color being blue.
2. How photos are shown in media viewer. A more modern, minimalism approach is necessary. - Rated 4 out of 5by Martijn, 10 months agoVery well-made extension, does excellent beauty and ux improvements. Deducting a star because the language switcher really misses some kind of "favourite/pinned" language(s), searching for it in a big list each time is annoying. The dark themes aren't quite to my liking either; they are very functional but not pretty (I use slate, it's ok).
- Rated 4 out of 5by Daniel, 2 years agoThe search box option links are broken. They can't be selected.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Cirnos, 2 years agoSome parts are still in white even though I turned on dark mode
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ory Band, 2 years agoWorks great on LTR languages, but fonts are bad for RTL, specifically Hebrew, and the setting controls are all reverted and confusing.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Sophia, 2 years agoCool but how the hell do I change the settings and theme everyone is talking about.? There are no options in the extension or the wikipedia website.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Rodion Borisov, 3 years agoThis brings an enjoyable experience to reading Wikipedia... except the dark theme has some serious problem with blockquotes: background is same white as for text. I think it's a wrong choice of contrast to overall dim theme, and I would love to see it fixed.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17284830, 3 years agoCould you please add light grey background, like this one on firefox website.
Well done on making this extension!
Edit: Also adding "most recent languages" or letting us to put one language of our choice at the top of "change language menu", would be helpful. Developer response
posted 3 years agoThe latest update includes fixes for the Chinese version, so it should be working now :)- Rated 4 out of 5by PARANOIA, 3 years agoUnsure if this is a bug with using this on an ultrawide monitor but the size difference between the 3rd and 2nd largest column widths is too drastic - would prefer at least another 2 sizes in between. A "warm" dark mode would be nice as well.

posted 3 years agoThanks for the suggestion, more widths have been added to the slider in the latest update to give better support for large screens. More themes coming soon :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17181041, 3 years agoGreat extension, however for Persian (a right to left language) somehow this extension fails to fully work and shows dark theme as light instead.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 11386136, 3 years agoSuggestion: Make left sidebar actually collapsible so that content can take more space when zooming on smaller screen. I'll keep using the Mobile Wikipedia extension since it allows for a better use of screen estate. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mobile-wikipedia-webextension/

posted 3 years agoThanks for the suggestion, the left sidebar has now been updated to work like that in the latest update :) - Rated 4 out of 5by uncoolcentral, 3 years agoI appreciate that some will find this an preferable to default Wikipedia, but I found nothing to like about it. It's well implemented, but it wasn't for me. Not even close.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14315579, 3 years agoSuggestion: Since everything is bigger (fontsize, left panel, etc) the content should be full page. No need for this right margin now.

posted 3 years agoThanks for the suggestion. If you set the content width slider in the settings to max, it does use 100% width (no margins). But there will be more control over this in the next update :)
