Our take
Wikipedia itself is fairly benign privacy-wise, so this is for people who want to read it with zero tracking and a lighter page, and the PrivacyTools.io-hosted instance keeps it dependable. The trade is the usual frontend caveat plus the fact that you lose some of the live interactivity of the real site. A reasonable default if you read a lot of Wikipedia and care about the principle; skip it if you just want the article.
