A Chrome Extension for determining how charged your news is.

How to Use

Navigate to any site that displays its headlines as links. Click on the Charged icon in your Google Chrome browser toolbar. Within a few seconds, highlights will slowly begin to appear across the headlines, indicating which ones use positive language, and which ones use negative language. Neutral headlines will be left un-highlighted. The extension has to crawl across the entire web page, so full analysis may take a minute. The analysis is based on keywords and an external API, so is not perfect, but in general we have found it to be 90% accurate.

Use News sources claim to be neutral, but can often spin headlines and articles to be positive or negative, skewing the reader's judgement of the subject matter without their awareness of it. This tool highlights the sentiment contained in the language used by the news source, and the reader can then assess whether the news is being delivered with any sort of bias. Pay special attention to trends on whether specific topics and individuals are being shown in a predominantly positive or negative light.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Charged does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Charged may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
