This extension makes Media Bias/Fact Check easier to use by showing the ideological bias as the extension icon in the toolbar and providing a direct link to the page about the news source. If the site is not rated by Media Bias/Fact Check, that's also immediately apparent since the icon does not change.

As a retired editor, investigative journalist, technical writer, I rely on Media Bias Fact Check as my primary go to for news-source analysis. I find MB to be accurate and reliable. I also publish this in-depth fact checking compendium: https://cfitampabay.org/a-compendium-offact-finding-sites/
