2020-09-11	John Franson		Unfortunately, it got the article ratings wrong too often to be really useful.
2019-08-19	Juan Mendez		A smart and friendly little watchdog that warns you about fake news and bias content.
2019-07-09	Damla Ozdalga		Super helpful extension and works very well with many sources - would highly recommend! It's impossible to be familiar with every news source and this does a good job of assessing and helping you filter the noise
2019-05-18	Bryan Stark		The idea is 5-star but implementation is 2-star, e.g. 3-star total IMHO. For example it claims that CNN is a highly credible "slightly center left leaning" source, when they are the epitome of fake-news! So credibility is based upon how wide-spread the news is world-wide, i.e. "wide-spread." However, if you could count how many times they went with fake stories that they had to retract, they would definitely be low-credible source. To be fair they are mostly correct on a binary level; they correctly identify news that caters to the left or right of center, even if they incorrectly portray to what degree.

2019-05-01	Ashish kumar naagar		Well, TBH I stumble upon this by mistake but Now I am loving it. If you love reading and majority of your time spent in front of computer screen you shouldn't miss this extension. Would love a app which can work on android. That would be lovely.
2019-04-30	Tnmy Crprt		Online news is like the Wild West now. Who are you supposed to trust anymore. Not even sure about this but I’m going to give it a shot and see.
2019-04-28	My Game		Imho I don’t know if I’d use this every day as there are certain publications that I trust no matter what even if I don’t agree with the author or the opinion in the article. Still this seems like it could help with some of those publications I’m not familiar with and if I should even bother reading it.
2019-02-26	Rubel Ahmed		This is great. Don’t even know it’s working in the background until I go to search for news. Then I can check if I should read it or not.
2019-02-24	Sayed Hossain		So I saw a Facebook ad for this thing and decided why not. I’m a journalism student - not sure why when it seems like journalists are not the favorite people right now. Anyways makes me think about what are my own biases and if I can even write without them. I just want to get a job out of school.
