New in Version 1.0.5, the extension's icon now changes its color based on the current site.

Coming soon: 1) Enhanced Twitter and Facebook functionality -- Surfy will add a small indicator to social media links so you can know what you're looking at without clicking through to individual articles. 2) Article-level fact-checks -- Surfy will automatically compare article titles to existing fact-checks; when a confident match is found, Surfy will provide a link to the relevant fact-checking article.
