Is the extension disabled? It does not work anymore? Because it gives me the message that you guys have retired.

Doesn't work very well with many trustworthy sites.

I am a journalist and have tested this on a number of trustworthy sites. It does not work very well with local journalism and often suggests articles are satire. I'm sure it can be trained further to be more accurate, but it is coming up with a lot of false positives for fake news (I made sure to test non-political stories so my own biases weren't confounding the results).
