- (2025-07-25) Shopify Marchant Agent: It works pretty well and I like how it shows possible bias, not just true/false stuff. You can tell it’s built to help people think, not just score news.
- (2025-07-24) Asuka Nishimura: Really useful so far. It works best with big news sites, and I can actually see where certain claims might be misleading or biased. Some smaller sites don’t always get analyzed, but for mainstream news it’s been great.
- (2025-07-24) Alex Kelvin: It’s a helpful browser buddy. Doesn’t get in the way and runs quietly.
- (2025-07-22) Richard Caleb: Really really helpful. I like that it doesn’t act like it knows everything, it just gives a confidence score and highlights stuff.
- (2025-07-22) Simon Frank: It's helpful, but I wish it caught more of the bias in some opinion pieces. Still cool though, especially for bigger news sites. I’ll keep using it.
- (2025-07-22) Walter Owen: honestly this is the kind of thing I’ve been looking for. news is crazy these days and everyone has an angle. this extension kinda gives you a second opinion without you having to dig around. I don’t always agree with it but I love that it gives context. super useful.
- (2025-07-20) Paul Conrald: it’s helped me slow down and question what I read instead of reacting instantly. That alone makes it worth keeping.
- (2025-07-20) Bishop lilwane: Cool idea and mostly helpful, but the confidence scores feel vague at times. Still a useful companion while reading.
- (2025-07-20) Clara Lea: This extension makes me feel more confident in what I’m reading online. I love the fact-checking overlay it’s fast, and genuinely helpful. Especially useful during breaking news when information gets chaotic.
