Better than Wikiwand which has stopped updating and has become buggy. This one is great.

It is an excellent extension, wikipedia is a site we come across daily but its old UI looks ugly. It makes Wikipedia look better while keeping its original atmosphere unlike wikiwand which completely changes the way wikipedia looks and feels. Wikiwand is also good but it redirects you to a different page which makes it difficult to share links. I will definitely recommend this extension to everyone.

I love this extension. Two minor problems: (1) the toolbar icon for the extension is almost invisible in Chrome dark mode (2) equations on Wikipedia pages ARE invisible when using the black theme; I had to switch to the gray theme.

Great improvement for Wikipedia pages. Very similar to Wikiwand from what I've seen, though Wikiwand's text to speech is a bit better, specially because you can jump between sections, but I much prefer this one for one reason: I hate the fact that Wikiwand redirects you to a different URL, so if I share or save the URL of the Wikipedia article, I'm actually sharing Wikiwand's URL rather than Wikipedia's, and it annoys me a ton. However, this is not the case with Modern for Wikipedia, so given... Show more

Everything but the "Auto Dark Theme" option seems to work. Additionally, the front page of Wikipedia is unthemed in dark mode and sticks out like a sore thumb. If these can be fixed, the extension deserves a perfect rating.

Downloaded for the text-to-speech feature. The plus side is that it doesn't read citation numbers. It reads some unnecessary words and transcripts. For example, it would read all those weird signs and words in this: Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky[a] (UK: /ˌdɒstɔɪˈɛfski/,[1] US: /ˌdɒstəˈjɛfski, ˌdʌs-/;[2] Russian: pre-1918: Ѳедоръ Михайловичъ Достоевскій; post-1918: Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский[b], tr. Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevskiy, IPA: [ˈfʲɵdər mʲɪˈxajləvʲɪdʑ dəstɐˈjefskʲɪj] ⓘ; 11 No... Show more

Came for the dark mode, stayed for the gorgeous layout and customisability. Exactly what I wanted and more, thanks!

Redirects correctly from Google unlike Wikiwand.
