- Rated 3 out of 5by bumpsy, 5 months agoonce the infinite loop is solved, it'll get 5 stars. I usually don't share wikipedia links so the added url-query doesn't really bother me. Would be nice to have that fixed, as well, though.
It's basically as quick as vanilla-wikipedia (unlike wikiwand). One thing I've noticed is that tables stay black in dark mode, which makes them barely readable - Rated 3 out of 5by Thrillhouse, 7 months agoSeconding what James Cole's review said about the "?useskin=vector" being added to every page's URL. Really annoying and messes with my existing bookmarks (can't tell if a page has already been added since the URL no longer matches the several hundred bookmarks made before installing this extension). Even more annoying considering I'm already using vector anyway.
- Rated 3 out of 5by James Cole, 8 months agoThis is a great add-on. Normally the only issue is that it adds "?useskin=vector" to the url which is slightly annoying when sharing links, but the links work fine without the add-on.
Recently however v1.25 causes Firefox to get stuck in an infinite loop when accessing the base domain www.wikipedia.org. - Rated 3 out of 5by Pedro, 2 years agoWikipedia home page keeps refreshing and I can't use Wikipedia home website with the extension enabled. Wikipedia article pages works fine.
- Rated 3 out of 5by EllieM, 2 years agoWhy do all these extensions now make the larger heading font serif even when sans is selected? I have dyslexia and have difficulty reading serif fonts. I always used another extension called Wikiwand but they changed the design last year and now uses a serif font for the larger heading fonts even when sans is selected. I looked for other extensions to replace it, and they all do it, even this one. It's so hard to read.
- Rated 3 out of 5by sa, 2 years agoWell, I installed this because it's sleek, yes, but mostly for the dark theme, which doesn't seem to work. There isn't a option to make the background dark, only accents
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17176708, 3 years agoWith large margins that makes poor use of screen real estate, this "modern" redesign does indeed live up to its name.

posted 3 years agoIf you set the content width slider in the settings to max, it will be 100% width (no margins). I will make this more obvious in the next update :)
