wikiless.org

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 I should use Wikiless instead of Wikipedia? There are couple of reasons why you might want to use Wikiless:

Circumvent censorship (1)

You prevent Wikipedia getting your IP address (2)

Doesn't Wikiless get your IP address instead of Wikipedia? Idk if Wikipedia is the kind of service that requires a frontend, given that it's not run by a data-hungry corporation.

If anything, you could just use Tor.
