Bulgaria stands at number 111 in the Press Freedom ranking. And that's really not something to be proud of.

Bulgarian media often serves (political and ideological) agenda instead of independent journalism.

In order to fight this, I'd like to introduce this little extension. All it does is it informs readers of sponsorship/funding programs that benefit the website on display.

This extension strives to be as objective as possible. The current sponsorship/funding database is small-but-fast-growing. It's not yet comprehensive, but that sure is the goal.

You can boost Bulgarian Media Freedom by using this extension or by completing the list of known sponsorship/funding that are not yet mentioned. Please do that by opening an issue here: https://github.com/ydm/bulgarian-media-freedom/issues

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Bulgarian Media Freedom requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Bulgarian Media Freedom may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
