I checked many sites with this and it is very bias and untruthful. Perfect example they give Buzzfeed perfect green checks across the boar, Buzzfeed is a joke but they rate it perfect. Also CNN has perfect green across the board. CNN has had some miss steps lately should not be perfect green. Fox news got a few red x's and ok but CNN should be about equal to that as they are as far left as fox news is right.

Ranks Daily Mail as a reputable source. Useless.

This addon had a lot more 1-star reviews than it currently does. They have presumably been removed at the request of NewsGuard.

The reasons why I would urge people to avoid this add-on:

1. Serious privacy problem: sends the sites you visit to NewsGuard's servers - there's no reason why this addon cannot work without such reporting.

2. The people involved with this addon (see their advisory board and read the reporting that's been done on them) are, I'd argue, not the people who should be entrusted with deciding what is/isn't a reliable source of news.

3. A site which refuses to participate in this scheme will get flagged as unreliable (see what happened to Boing Boing when they were approached)

4. Mozilla/Firefox co-founder Brendan Eich has commented on this company: "This is a bad operation all around"

wow, they deleted so many 1-star reviews. Seems like a desperate move.

Minor newspapers or independent journalists are hampered by this extension.

It is harmful. And it aims to discredit other relevant sources.

American propaganda tool. This extension must be removed.
