Summary

Includes the standard deviation of the review scores to the summary and details pages of an entry on Metacritic. This allows the user to easily check if the critics are agreeing with each other, or if there is a discrepancy in the scores given.

Note that a metascore is a weighted average, where each review is weighted by a hidden factor determined by metacritic.

Good idea, doesn't work anymore.

A useful and functional extension. However, metascores are generally not 'trustworthy' (They are heavily skewed, whereby some review sites have more weight than others, etc.) unlike the creator of this extension implies.
