Wikiwand: Wikipedia Modernized - for Firefox

Nowadays whenever you think of knowledge, facts, and a sure source of data for a school report, you think of Wikipedia. This timeless website has been around for some time now, and it is no surprise that some may try to provide ways of enhancing your encyclopedic browsing experience. Wikiwand: Wikipedia Modernized is a browser add-on that completely changes the look and feels of Wikipedia, making it look as modern as ever while bringing additional functionality to it.

Wikiwand: Wikipedia Modernized is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox browser who's role is to upgrade the way your Wikipedia pages look, feel and behave. The only thing that stays the same is the traditional black text over white background theme, that of course unless you choose the dark theme, which can be both aesthetic and easy on the eyes, especially if you spend most of your reading time at night. More so, you are given the opportunity to choose from a variety of fonts, color palette and the rearrangement of certain UI elements, and some extra tools that will make your Wikipedia browsing more efficient.

If you have a Facebook account, you can use it to connect and link it to a bookmark page where you can store all of the Wikipedia pages that interest you the most. More so, you no longer have to worry about manually searching for a page in a specific language, since you now have a scrollable list incorporated that does precisely that for you. There are also other page customization options that perform the changes in real time, so you can always arrange the page to your liking, without worrying that you have to refresh the page.

Few other programs or add-ons bring such a great change (for the good) the way Wikiwand: Wikipedia Modernized does. This makes the program a must-have, especially for those that enjoy spending their time reading and expanding their knowledge base.

For those that prefer the Google Chrome browser, you'll be delighted to know that there is also a Chrome version of this extension.
