- Rated 5 out of 5by Lord Fong, 5 months agoActually works in Europe.
You know what would be nice? The ability to submit your own rating, as is the case with Sponsor Block. - Rated 3 out of 5by Marty, 10 months agoGood idea and implementation, unfortunately it does not work for Europe that possible fake news are marked. The political spectrum in Europe is also much wider, which is made visible by the large number of political parties. The Greens play a much greater political role in Europe than in the US, for example.

- Rated 4 out of 5by PAUL_D74, a year agoGreat when it does display but I've found that sometimes it stop dispaying next to search results. This might be caused by my ad blockers or other extentions, maybe.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17995104, a year agoHilariously biased. Flags all fox articles as fake news LOL immediately deleted.
Edited to respond to response:
If that were true, most of the media sites would be flagged fake. Including left sites like CNN, who has been routinely false, among others. The only one i saw was fox. I rate your response as false.
I was merely testing to see just how unbiased it was, as im tired of being spoonfed what to think. It failed.Developer response
posted a year agoThank you for giving the extension a try.
Just to clarify the actual mechanism of the plugin, no articles are ever specifically flagged as fake, reliable, or otherwise, but rather the media sources themselves are tagged with their track records for bias and accuracy. According to MBFC's documentation, FOX News has failed fact checks routinely enough that their accuracy rating has fallen to "purveyors of fake news."
You can see more about Media Bias Fact Check's rating methodology on their website, wherein you can also see documented reasoning for each media source's ratings.
Thank you!

- Rated 5 out of 5by CyberScooby, 3 years agoThis addon is fantastic! If makes it really easy to differentiate between trustworthy articles and non-factual ones before I even click on the link.
They are also very honest about each site. One of my top favourite sites has a very mixed rating which is not ideal ... but is very honest about their range of content.
If most people installed and used this extension, then this world would be a much better place. Everyone needs to install this!!! - Rated 4 out of 5by endolith, 3 years agoI wish the browser icon showed accuracy and not just bias.
I wish the labels appeared on Google News and Reddit. Neither new nor old Reddit has any labels on anything, nor have I ever seen them on Google News (where they are needed most). I wish a small icon version of this worked on EVERY website, really, with the option to turn it off on sites where it messes up the layout.Developer response
posted 3 years agoThe labels SHOULD work on all versions of Reddit; one Chrome user said they weren't working on 'new Reddit' for them, but I unfortunately haven't been able to reproduce the issue. They used to work on Google News, but GN has been through a lot of different iterations, and I haven't had time to keep up with all of the changes.
I think the icon accuracy criticism is a very good one. I wanted to implement it, but at the current time, browser plugins only allow one badge (the C, LC, etc. mini box that shows in the bottom right). I found that if I added the accuracy rating in addition to the bias in that same badge, the text became small enough that it was mostly illegible. With that said, I'll continue checking to see if they ever begin implementing dual badges for browser plugins. In the meantime, both the accuracy and bias ratings should display when you click the browser plugin icon. I know it's a tedious extra step, but it's the best I could think of.
Thank you for your thoughts!
Erik - Rated 5 out of 5by pelle, 4 years agoThis add-on is privacy friendly as it looks up the bias ratings locally (from sources/sources.json). The integration into DuckDuckGo and other sites is very well made. I appreciate that they're acknowledging the US-centric meta-bias in the description. The add-on icon has an ugly white square around it on dark themes.

- Rated 5 out of 5by S.Akash, 4 years agoAwesome add-on. Have two suggestions...
Support for Ecosia would be great(I understand not many users use it, but just mentioning it in case several other people also ask for it).
Another would be to have an icon showing the results in the address bar too(like this no longer updated extension does https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/media-bias-fact-check-icon/). - Rated 1 out of 5by icstars, 4 years agothis has zero to do with accuracy and everything to do with social enginerring

posted 4 years agoI assure you that creator of the ratings has no interest in social engineering. All ratings were obtained using an auditable methodology, and every failed fact check is shared, detailed, and linked within the source's page. Take care! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15684975, 5 years ago

posted 4 years agoI'm sorry that you feel this way. I can assure you that the source I use adheres reliably to standard American politics. Although this may not be a perfect reflection of all global political views, it would be impossible to find a scale with which everyone agrees.- Rated 5 out of 5by riot, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15326900, 5 years agoMore useful if it was global , subreddits like r/europe or r/unitedkigdom are pretty high in article links and it would be nice if it was available there too
e: apparently it works on there now, thanks - Rated 5 out of 5by willhansen, 6 years agoSuper convenient and non-intrusive.
If using infinite scroll with RES, and the decals are missing, just click on the background.
