User Reviews

The Wikipedia Reading Lists Firefox add-on allows users to quickly save articles to their default reading list, syncing with mobile devices. However, multiple users find the UI confusing and the extension very limited: it only supports adding articles to a single default list without any ability to view, manage, or edit reading lists on desktop. Login problems are also reported. While it performs basic saving functions adequately, the extension lacks comprehensive reading list management features, reducing its practical value.

Pros

Simple and straightforward to add articles to the default Wikipedia reading list.
Detects logged-in status and works immediately for saving articles.
Useful for syncing reading lists between mobile devices and desktop browser for saving articles on desktop to read later on mobile.
Native Wikimedia Foundation presence lends credibility and integration.
Provides a minimal but functional way to save articles quickly with one click.

Cons

Reading list can only add articles; user cannot view, manage, or remove articles from reading lists in the browser extension.
Only the default reading list is accessible for saving; cannot select or manage multiple named or themed lists.
User interface is confusing and unintuitive, especially its location in the address bar and lack of clear visibility.
Login issues arise, such as the extension prompting to login without proper functionality, preventing use if login fails.
Extension is very basic and considered 'write-only' without reading or editing capabilities on desktop, limiting its usefulness.

Is Wikipedia Reading Lists 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 Reading Lists requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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 Reading Lists is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
