Extension summary
Just the Facts highlights key information (quotes, names, numbers, dates) in clear, bold colors, enabling both the casual news reader and hardcore news junkie to glean the gist of a webpage at a glance. Cut through the cruft and get straight to the cold, hard facts.
By default, Just the Facts is activated for a selection of popular news sites such as The New York Times, The Economist, and The Washington Post, but this list can easily be modified via the options screen (accessible from the Chrome extensions menu).
User reviews
This is an excellent tool for getting to the key points within articles.
People & Places are highlighted blue, date and times in green, quotes in red and numbers and figures in purple.
I have added wikipedia and other sites through the options. This is a must for students and researchers!
Nice extension. Please consider adding support for searching for the highlighted names, dates, places in Wikipedia, NNDB, Google, etc.
This extension seems to highlight names, quotes and dates. It does not make judgments about what is important in a news story, nor could it. Not useful. Will remove.
