Extension summary

News Intermix has a database of ~900 geographically-diverse English-language news sites. Tell the extension what your daily news site is, and enter the percentage of visits you want to be redirected to a random news source. It's a non-fawning user interface that can break your habitual spatial tendencies.

nb. The list of sources is incomplete and some sites are out of date; we are constantly improving it. Please email [email protected] if you discover any broken links.
