Extension not updated in two years. Website dead. Verdict: Abandoned. Wish Google would proactively remove the thousands of other abandoned extensions. My guess is many, maybe even this one, are school projects and the authors never return to remove them once trhe class ends. Any extension that hasn't been updated in 4-8 months should be automatically removed.

Really wanted to like this, but the fact that it wouldn't actually give a result destroys the purpose. Once the app is perfected, then I'll be back

Well this fails the test completely. Labels left wing news outlets like MSNBC as right winged and right winged like fox as left leaning. Completely wrong. Interesting in theory, completely failed in practice. Also the "hows does this work" gives a 403 error
