Prevents Wikipedia getting your IP address.
Wikipedia is light on JavaScript and has never had ads. You prevent Wikipedia from getting your IP address but instead reveal it to some random third party, combined with letting them know everything you look up.
What the hell is the point of this. All this does it confuse people and decrease privacy.
Yes wikipedia does have ads every time they fundraise
I use libredirect to complete privacy-focused searches across various front-ends, from YouTube to Reddit to Wikipedia, and my searches are distributed across various instances, so no, a single random third party is not getting all of my searches.

They have ads to fundraise. Wikipedia is one of the greatest archives of knowledge in history. Their clients and website are open source powered by MediaWiki. Of all the sites to use a privacy friendly frontend for, I’d have Wikipedia at the very bottom.
The owner is the guy who created JavaScript and is funded by controversial right-winger Peter Thiel
Also donates money to anti-lgbtq groups

I can excuse controversial right-wing views and homophobia, but I draw the line at creating JavaScript!
What is this wikiless site?

This is going increasingly off topic.
