- (2025-03-23) Zary M: This is hands down the best Chrome extension for fact checking and analyzing news articles that I have ever used. It’s a game-changer for anyone who wants to stay informed without falling into the trap of misinformation. The extension doesn’t just flag questionable sources — it actually breaks down logical fallacies, highlights biased language, and even offers real-time news analysis that’s incredibly insightful. While it's true that no app could ever possibly be 100% accurate and perfect in this endeavor, I do believe that TIMIO provides the best chrome extension (and mobile app) for this purpose. I especially love how it promotes media literacy by encouraging users to think critically and question what they read. It helps you compare headlines across outlets to find unbiased news and provides context that you won’t get from just skimming social media. Whether you're a student, journalist, or just someone who wants to be better informed, this tool is a must-have. Finally, an extension that doesn’t just filter news — it teaches you how to analyze it yourself. Absolutely essential in today’s world! For a long time, I had been looking for a chrome extension that would allow me to check for logical fallacies, sensationalism, news bias and disinformation while browsing online, and finally I have found it. If this sounds like something you're looking for, I recommend the extension. It is a nice tool to have on hand.
