    What it says on the tin. Funny how the people who like fake news complain about their news being tagged as fake.
    One issue is that the Summary tab in the preferences doesn't seem to work; it just says "close and reopen this menu in a few seconds", and never seems to change. Still, it's working, so 🤷‍♂️
    EDIT: lots of updates without explanations, and it's closed source, which makes me wonder what's going on, so I disabled it on my own machine as a precaution. I can't simply retract the review, and it still seems to work, so I just removed 1 star.

    For what it's worth, it's not closed-source. You can find the source code here: https://github.com/EG-Freelance/stopaganda-plus

    The package is updated weekly for updates to the sources.json file. I include a static sources file to prevent the need for the plugin to fetch external resources, which I (as a user) would perceive as a security risk.

    Great idea! And would be nice to not just have it based on the US, since modelling politics elsewhere on US standards is not accurate again. I.e. would probably be nice to have something own for Europe.

    Great 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.

    I 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.

    The 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!
