Wikipedia Quick Search Firefox

Wikipedia Quick Search

By: JDonie Add-on
Look up selected text on Wikipedia in a side panel via Alt+W – no AI, no tracking, no proprietary backend.

Features & Capabilities

Wikipedia Quick Search schlägt markierten Text direkt neben dem Lesefluss nach – ohne den Tab zu wechseln.

Markiere ein Wort und drücke Alt+W (macOS: Option+W) oder nutze das Rechtsklick-Menü „Auf Wikipedia nachschlagen". Der passende Artikel erscheint in einer Seitenleiste; bei mehrdeutigen Begriffen zeigt die Erweiterung eine Trefferliste, statt zu raten.

Funktionen: Seitenleiste mit Zurück-Navigation, optionaler Klick-Modus, lokaler Verlauf und gespeicherte Artikel, mehrere Sprachen (Standard: Deutsch), eigener PDF-Betrachter, helles und dunkles Design.

Datenschutz: keine KI, kein Tracking, keine Telemetrie, kein eigener Server. Netzwerkzugriff ausschließlich auf Wikipedia. Inhalte stammen von Wikipedia und stehen unter CC BY-SA 4.0.

Is Wikipedia Quick Search 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.

Wikipedia Quick Search requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Request access to the following domains: wikipedia.org
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Wikipedia Quick Search is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
