User reviews

I'm trying to search for random stuff about Minecraft and then i just get randomly teleported to the page on Minecraft.wiki and just a reminder breezewiki is off idk if its this extension or if its a google feature, but its great overall.

une nécessité absolue je veux dire, c'est absolument pas normal qu'un site avec des informations si erronées et incomplètes comme Fandom fasse autant d'ombre aux vrais wiki de qualité. bien que tardivement, je suis vraiment heureux d'avoir entendu parler de cette extension. maintenant, je vais difficilement pouvoir m'en passer.

Un simple Oréo, 2025-03-03

Finally, no more outdated Fandom Pages whenever I'm looking for Minecraft info. This Addon does exactly as it advertises, with some fine-tuning available such as simply hiding Fandom from Results, outright & forever.
