@monirom @aniketteredesai Similar concept (Wikipedia redesign) but Modern is built on top of the existing Wikipedia website and runs locally on your device, whereas Wikiwand host a copy and redirect you to their website. The extension approach used by Modern is better for privacy, and also ensures all the Wikipedia features still work, including user accounts etc (and that it's always showing the most up to date articles). Apart from that, Modern is just a different design approach (more minimal) and has some extra features (history etc). I like Wikiwand though, I think they get a lot right. Not sure how active their development is nowadays (last social media posts were a few years ago).
