User reviews

As far as the extension itself, it works perfectly, no bugs to speak of. I remember the Firefox version, before it was memory holed, you could click a story and not lose your place, pretty useful when a lot happened overnight and you don't want to have to scroll down to get back to where you were. It would be nice to see that in this version. As for the news content, it's RT. A different and (especially in these times) necessary perspective counter to the western narrative. But if you think you're getting the whole truth with no agenda or bias, please contact me. I have not just a bridge but a whole transportation system to sell you, all for 10 rubles, whatever that is in dollary-doos these days.

RT is being blocked on many other news aggregating extensions. This is blatant censorship and cowardice by the supposedly democratic and 'civilized' West that is paranoid of any ideas that oppose its global hegemony. Btw, I'm an American and even I see this. Thank you RT for your honest news coverage.

Due to the current ongoning Ukraine-Russia conflict, I read much on RT news. I want to know view from both sides beacuse I'm not that typical consumer of mainstream media fastfood.
