Help us keep news accountable.

Features & Capabilities

Balanced Media is a browser add on that allows users to rate data on 2 main indicators:

  1. How the article is biased. (Options: Very Left Biased, Left Biased, Neutral, Right Biased, Very Right Biased)
  2. Whether the article respectfully includes their perspective.

The more people think an article is neutral, the less biased it is, and the more people that think an article includes their perspective, the more balanced it is.

With this crowdsourced information, Balanced Media can find the most balanced, least biased articles.

Is Balanced Media Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Balanced Media requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Balanced Media is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
