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

• Relevant Wikipedia previews beside Google Search results
• View in GooWi selected-text lookup
• Conservative relevance filtering that favors silence over misleading matches
• Improved matching for aliases, redirects, formal names, and likely typos
• Wikipedia disambiguation handling for genuinely ambiguous searches
• Wikipedia hatnotes and clarification links
• Representative images through Wikipedia’s PageImages API
• Internal Wikipedia navigation without changing the underlying Google query
• Random Article
• Expand/restore reading mode
• Wikirace with full supported article navigation, a 10-click initial challenge, and optional overtime
• Responsive desktop and half-screen layouts
• Light and dark appearance support
• Centered ♡ Donate to Wikimedia link

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.
