Do you have any experience using Wiktionary, and if so, where does it fall on your spectrum? I personally use Wiktionary a lot because it seems adequate from what I tell and it covers all the multiple languages that I'm interested in.

I frequently use Wiktionary on desktop. I find it invaluable for tracing certain elements of etymology, but still largely prefer Etymonline.

It's worth noting that I access these things most frequently on mobile, so an app (with a clean, ad-free, streamlined UI) is paramount.

Your comment sparked me to seek out whether Wiktionary has an app— and apparently someone has built this iPhone app for a reader view, which at first use appears identical to the desktop view: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/wiktionary-reader/id984975341
