Why it stopped working on vista?
Completely misleading donation request pretending to be the "real" wikipedia . . I consider this a scam to obtain monies under false pretences
all it does is show me the wikipedia settings. no search at all.waste of an extension
Stopped working for some reasons.
how is this better than wikipedia search classic which now been discontinued?
This USED to be my favorite extension. Now it's total crap. How sad.
This used to be a useful extension -- the update has essentially rendered it unusable. It does NOT work as directed. I also miss the 'W' Wikipedia button.
I have removed it literately hundreds of times,but it wont uninstall from Chrome.
my app worked for a while...and now when I click on it nothing happens...I don't know how to remove it and re-install it...but I loved it while it worked!
It never downloaded.
slowing up the page load
I wanted a context menu search, and it works for that. Not happy that it altered my existing address bar search settings without asking. I use wikipedia often enough that "W" was my shortcut. This extension made the shortcut longer.
Quite decent
It's good if you use wikipedia in one language predominantly. I often search in different languages and there's no quick way to switch languages between searches.
This is a great extension - when it works. I actually find myself missing the old version with the separate search bar, because this version periodically breaks and stops working (typing 'wiki' into the url bar does nothing), and the extension has to be disabled and re-enabled to fix it. If it weren't for this problem, I'd be rating it five stars.
it does not save the language , always in english
