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.
