Long time user here wow header, footer, sidebar, and floating ads? really? perhaps you should also insert more ads after every paragraph too You underestimated my adblock-fu but anyway you have shown your true color, and the usage experience it now worse OG wikipedia so I can no longer support or recommend this extension Enjoy your quick ad cash while it last

Hi Searchable! Extension users aren't seeing ads at all - only organic traffic directly from search results exposed to advertisements. Please try to reinstall the extension

From a 5 to a 0. Far too many ads! It's ridiculous. Noticed I was using it just for the dark theme, easy uninstall.

Buggy extension causing ads, reinstalled and solved, why have I done this as an user? Should even be developers' job?

Thanks for the heads up, we are aware and solving this issue. On rare occasions some user will need to reinstall the extension, we are promoting a version that will solve this going forward

The extension now has ads and privacy issues. Aggressive monetization policy has ruined the extension I used for years. The best alternative for this is "Modern for Wikipedia" extension

Suddenly I have ads popping up on wikipedia... the direction the addon is going in is not good.

On the latest update you'll see a screen of annoying ads on every page you opened... You call this "enhance user experience"? You're destroying user experience. RIDICULOUS.

Sorry but I'm not going to pay for a glorified userscript for Wikipedia. Absolutely ridiculous hahahaha

Pretty cool extension, but whenever I try to search something in the search bar it reloads the page and adds " ?title= something " to the URL bar. Forcing me to search the article by writing it on the actual URL, which is so dumb and a waste of time. The new UI is.. good? I like a lot of the things you added and the moving things around so there's a clearer view just give me back my dirt theme or "nature" theme as you call it. And please just remove the ad about upgrading Wikiwand springing... Show more
