Features & Capabilities

Defund Wikipedia is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience on Wikipedia by removing persistent donation banners.

Open-source and straightforward, Defund Wikipedia focuses solely on eliminating fundraising banners to provide a cleaner interface. You can find its complete source code on GitHub, ensuring transparency and community trust. If you seek an unobstructed Wikipedia viewing experience, Defund Wikipedia is the perfect solution.

User Reviews

The addon effectively blocks Wikipedia's donation banners, keeps the donate link available, and works well across pages, including Android despite compatibility notes. Some banners still slip through on certain pages, and Android compatibility warnings can mislead users. Overall, it reduces annoyance and preserves user choice.

Pros

Blocks Wikipedia donation banners/ads, reducing annoyance
Keeps the Donate link visible for users who want to donate
Works well across Wikipedia pages and generally blocks banners
Works on Android despite compatibility warnings

Cons

Not 100% effective; occasional banners (e.g., homepage) can still appear
Android compatibility warnings may mislead users or indicate incompatibility on some devices

Recent reviews

please mark this as available on android. I've tested it by installing through the main Firefox site and sending to the mobile browser and it works just fine, but because it's not marked as mobile available you have to search for the extension through the main Firefox site not mobile. It works just fine android 14 Firefox!

Is Defund Wikipedia Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Defund Wikipedia requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
