my recommended wikiwand settings
also be--------aware < for some
WikiWand is an Israeli application
https://freeappsforme.com/wikiwand-app-review/
BUT since my VPN is now owned by an Israeli company i'm "balls deep" 🤣
id really get why some, not saying some here, are against using Israeli software
as long as it's NOT government run < no issue and never have had one < but that's just me
@ecksmc 🤔 it's Wikipedia but they get your information? It says user experience with no explanation of how it improves anything.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine go to the chrome extension URL and see what else it does to improve the interface 😉
@ecksmc I'm afraid to ... Advertising?
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine no advertising though
if you use Ublock origin and/or NoScript 😉
not seen one advert so far
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine also worth noting the ads aren't targeted like other targeted ads are < they are, you could say, still targeted i a way
most targeted ads are based on your browsing activity and habbits
with wikiwand ads they are based on the actual article, subject, you are reading at the time which is totally different that following you around the web to then target you with ads
@Render 🤣
it's as if other countries don't do the exact same
someone, somewhere, somehow is always watching
once installed click the extension for options
(screenshot 1)
also you can change the hotkey shortcut
