I wanted to use this extension for rating news articles, as we are currently bombarded with clickbait titles. This extension could serve the purpose of fighting clickbaits, but for it to be possible, a rating of the article should be visible next to the link that leads to it. In this current format, I see no use for this extension.

User Reviews
This is really a fun little extension. It just works. I registered with GiveScores and then rated website and got feedback, viz., an interesting quote from an historical figure. Installed fine in FF 52 on Ubuntu 14.04. Would like to see this available for Pale Moon and SeaMonkey.
