Is Wikiwand - Wikipedia Modernized safe?
Wikiwand - Wikipedia Modernized redirects Wikipedia article visits to Wikiwand, sending the article URL to www.wikiwand.com.
When you open a Wikipedia article, the extension's declarative network request rule redirects the page to the matching Wikiwand URL. That redirect includes the Wikipedia language and article path, so www.wikiwand.com receives the article URL you were visiting.
