- Rated 4 out of 5by Octavian, 6 months agoLove the clean look and customizability.
What can be improved:
(1) media viewer. Wikiwand does a better job at this with their minimalist, centered media viewer.
(2) when I want text to be more centered and I select the second to last slider option it goes too much to the left of the page leaving a big white strip on the right (it should have intermediary steps), the white spate between text and side images should be bigger (or customizable too; right now I think the text is too close to the picture when justify is on; this is not true for any page, I don't know why, here is a page for which this remark is true: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QviM_G_i0lSHoX4hwWB4jFst10rk0GUE?usp=sharing)
(3) Please add a keyboard shortcut to directly enter the search field for those of us that are keyboard lovers. Wikiwand does this and it's great. - Rated 4 out of 5by Daniel, 6 months agoThe search box option links are broken. They can't be selected.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Gersonzao, 7 months agoSome parts are still in white even though I turned on dark mode
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ory Band, 8 months 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, 10 months 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, a year 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, a year 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 a year agoThe latest update includes fixes for the Chinese version, so it should be working now :)- Rated 4 out of 5by PARANOIA, a year 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 a year 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, a year 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, a year 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 a year 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, a year 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, a year agoSuggestion: Since everything is bigger (fontsize, left panel, etc) the content should be full page. No need for this right margin now.

posted a year 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 :)
