A great tool that allows you to access Wikipedia articles without having your article-viewing tracked by cooperations. Also restores articles back to the old Wikipedia layout albeit broken in some cases. Shame that the source code is currently gone right now.

What is Wikiless?

Wikiless is a free open source alternative Wikipedia front-end focused on privacy.

  • No JavaScript or ads.
  • All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Wikipedia.
  • Prevents Wikipedia getting your IP address.
  • Self-hostable. Anyone can setup a private or public instance.

Why the new website? The original developer, "Orenom" has gotten DMCAed' and "Metastem" has forked it. Previous Source Code: https://web.archive.org/web/20220929180821if_/https://codeberg.org/orenom/wikiless
