Seems an outdated extension Doesn't seem to work anymore. Not even the FAQ... https://our.news/faq

Gus Vald, 2023-05-25

Interesting concept, but falls into the partisan pit-trap when it comes to fact checking, and news verification. The extension and the group behind it takes mainstream, typically left leaning or moderate left sources at face value without any further research or sourcing in the manner. Appears to heavily rely on fact checkers like politifact among others, which funnily enough has a history of bunk fact checking according to Zebra Fact Check, which is an independent fact checker that checks the fact checkers. Poor reasonings as to why some sources are "problematic" and the word "problematic" is in itself and issue. Newsguard in this sense is superior and far more accurate, as they do their own research and source from multiple sources.

Love the concept, and worked well standalone - except when it came to searching by topic, which seemed to stump search. Allied allsides.com by comparison returned a search quickly. Perhaps the best way to use the our.news browser app is to use it through allsides.com?
