I'm so glad I discovered Bot Sentinel for Chrome. I can't imagine NOT having it ever, especially during these uncertain times. While I still do my own research, I love the new misinformation feature it has added. It's free so donate if you can!

Extension is more inaccurate today due to crackdowns on API access.

I love the idea and it does help to identify bots. However, it is not accurate. For example, I've been on twitter since 2014, I rarely disparage individuals, post "fake news" or even curse. But yet, I'm at a 41% rating? The only thing I can figure is that people reporting you for anything can downgrade your rating.
