Indie Wiki Buddy provides a suite of features to help you discover independent wikis and improve your general wiki reading experience.
< br / > < br / >
When you visit a wiki on a large, corporate-run wiki host, this extension can notify or automatically redirect you to quality independent wikis when they're available.
2023-10-16 05:47:02 +00:00
Search results in Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Brave Search, Ecosia, and Startpage can also be filtered,
replacing non-independent wikis with links to independent counterpart (or hiding them completely).
2023-04-14 07:26:20 +00:00
< br / > < br / >
We currently redirect from Fandom and Fextralife wikis to independent counterparts.
< br / > < br / >
Indie Wiki Buddy also supports < a href = "https://breezewiki.com/" > BreezeWiki< / a > , a separate service that renders Fandom wikis without ads or bloat.
This helps give you a more enjoyable reading experience when an independent wiki isn't available.
< br / > < br / >
All these features can be toggled on or off, and you can set your preferences per-wiki as well. You're in full control!

automatically redirected to either an indie wiki or < a href = "https://breezewiki.com/" > BreezeWiki< / a > .

< br / >
This option will render Fandom wikis through < a href = "https://breezewiki.com/" > BreezeWiki< / a > , an external service that removes clutter, simplifies the page, and removes ads.
Occasionally, BreezeWiki or one of its mirrors may go down; when this happens, you can simply switch to another working instance. This is off by default.
