• (2025-07-09) Canadian Institute: stopped working when I renewed my subscription. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it just won't work at all on any website, tells me the site isn't a recognized news source...CNN isn't recognized anymore.
• (2025-05-10) Colin: It just doesn't work, constantly logs you out. Of note, a lot of its legitimacy stats are very out of date, based on 2018 to 2020. A lot, and I mean a lot, has come out, about a lot of things many media outlets flat out mislead the public about, and none of this is taken into consideration by the rating agencies Ground News have partnered with. For instance, MSNBC is listed as highly factual. Now, anyone with an honest heart, knows that it fundamentally not the case. The Epoch Times? Mixed or low factual, why? Because their health magazine section discussed Chinese medicine ointments for skin treatments, oh and, you know the whole Vaccine thing they were right about 4 years before everyone else, what being a newspaper with an interest in China and all. But it's 2025, and we're just letting it go apparently, but for things like Ground News to work, they've got to hold themselves accountable by having ethical partnerships with ethical organisations, and organisations that can put their hand on their heart and claim MSNBC is highly factual news are not those organisations.
• (2025-03-13) Muhammed Muhammed: It doesn't work on every website or in every language but it's still a wonderful extension.
• (2025-02-24) Joshua Salles (omghax): Absolutely love Ground News and what they're doing, I'm so glad they exist to advertise to people who might not regularly even consider what they're reading may be biased. Keep up the great work 🥲
• (2024-12-04) Admin Seedsgalore: The Extension doesn't seem to cover any of the news sites I actually use. Now they won't let me cancel subscription I don't want, Complete waste of money.
• (2024-11-30) R G: Got locked into a subscription with them that I really don't want or need, customer service was pretty rude, prefer mediabiasfactcheck it's free, and community run will just stick with them in future.
• (2024-11-29) Rad FG: Ground new is in my opinion a scam, I think you should not trust them to follow legal or ethical rules around subscriptions
• (2024-11-11) --: Doesn't work for Forbes at the moment of me writing this review
• (2024-10-21) Ignas Stankevicius: It doesn't work. I bought Ground News subscription. I installed this extension on my Chrome and it never works. I go to a BBC article for example and the auto information on the top doesn't pop up. If I try to manually click on the extension the extension says "This doesn't look like a recognised news article" (BBC, really?!). What's wrong with all of this? How do I make it work like in this video?
• (2024-10-17) Randy Hubbell: Small team. Outstanding communication. The opposite of today's norm.......you should check this app out. You will be amazed how accurately they detect bias. Thanks, Harleen.
• (2024-08-22) Casey Ott: I really like the idea of this extension, however, it just seems to not load on or recognize major outlets regularly. I can't see any info on any NYTimes articles, also issues with BBC, CNN. I assumed these large outlets would have been easiest to confirm this is working properly.
• (2024-08-14) DiSH: I like your app a lot, however i dont need it working on every page i visit. Thus when i set the permission to 'this app can read site data' > on click or only on allowed sites i expect it to sit quietly in the background until needed. However the domain name 'extension.ground.news' is still the top queried domain on my dns server whilst browsing. I didnt get my wireshark out try see further details... I think it should respect permissions, and be quiet in the background unless it has access to a page.
• (2024-07-26) Josh: Good to be aware of the bias of the news sites we read on the regular. My only criticism is there's too much going on in the UI. It would be nice to be able to see the owner of a news site at a glance as well since some sites are owned by one conglomerate.
• (2024-06-25) Peter de KAM: If youo want one browser extention to handle your news, this is it! I read ALOT and the extention helps me prioritize what I am reading so I don't end up caught in other people's fantacies...
• (2024-04-11) Andreea Gudin: An amazing tool for understanding the news behind the news and most of all, a healthy way of understanding any media content, by the narrow or wide angle, the freedom of expression may or can take.
• (2023-12-21) Džiugas Pužauskas: I would Like to see web version for windows of your app in dark mode, these are just low hanging fruits. Other than that - love your app!
• (2023-12-19) Geary Shull Jr: This extension is awesome! I highly recommend it to anyone that cares about how accurate their news sources are.
• (2023-10-06) Huahsin Hsu: Hope it can show scores of news resources like allsides. And can we see the basis for classifying these news resources?

• (2023-07-23) Douglas S.: It WAS fine until, and best I can tell, Chrome 115. Now it fast flickers at the top of the web page. I removed then reinstalled the extension but the issue was still there.

• (2023-05-26) Stefan Kuzmanović: Generally an amazing plugin, love the idea of checking political "alignment" of a website on the fly (factuality would be good to include too btw). But so often the plugin doesn't "activate" and show what it is supposed to, while it activates on sites like Youtube or tech stuff for no reason, just to say that (of course) it doesn't have political information about it. This needs fixing, otherwise an amazing idea.

• (2023-05-26) Eric Tremblay: I don't know what happened with the ground news bar but it mess so much with existing website designs it makes many websites unusable. I have no other choices but to uninstall it until this extension or chrome is fixed.

• (2023-02-22) alveolate hermeneutist (alveolate): cmon why the heck would ground news try to fact check friggin steam store??? and how long before you implement a blacklist/whitelist function??? it's terrible that such a potentially useful extension has such a debilitating self-sabotaging impairment, which should be quite easy to fix since so many good extensions already have include/exclude functions. 1-star because this has been a problem since day 1 and i've suffered thru it for MONTHS now. fix it yesterday.

• (2022-12-24) Omar Monnoo: The service is good but the extension itself needs work. It is missing an option to disable on specific websites. It's annoying when it shows up on sites like Wikipedia.

• (2022-05-02) Mel M.: This extension makes comparing news sources SO convenient. It's also always interesting to see who else is reporting on a story, especially when a story pops up on my Facebook feed.

• (2021-12-26) Kevin Luo: I like how you can see what stories are covered by different news outlets, and it gives you a bird's eye view of the information that spreads around the internet. However, remember to actually do research into the facts that you care about, and that not everything neatly fits into left or right "agendas", as we so often like to simplify it as.

• (2021-11-03) Aaron Clark: I love it, the app, about to DL the extension now. I hope that they can continue to grow and reach more countries and bring an open forum where you can get "your version of truth" but also see what the other side and/or observers are saying. In this time of inability to have debate while disagreeing, disagree without insult, and listen before speaking. The monopolization of our sources of information and the good business practices (enrichment for ratings, truth doesn't pay) of those in power has led to a divisive culture that needs help seeing that we are all being taken advantage of.

• (2021-07-16) Nicholas Dewey: The extension is very good. However, I live in Australia and the entire platform has very U.S.-centric bias, so publications that are considered right-of-center here are considered left-wing. If there was a feature that accounted local perspectives this would be very useful and would make the platform an instant 5 stars for me.

• (2020-12-01) Selendra: Only works on the Major sites. Nothing flagged in my Facebook feed, Nothing flagged in Twitter. I opened far right wing "news" reports, nothing. This is a great idea. Needs to be more inclusive.
