Reviews & Comments of Nobias chrome extension

Unfortunately, it got the article ratings wrong too often to be really useful.

A smart and friendly little watchdog that warns you about fake news and bias content.

Super helpful extension and works very well with many sources - would highly recommend! It's impossible to be familiar with every news source and this does a good job of assessing and helping you filter the noise

The idea is 5-star but implementation is 2-star, e.g. 3-star total IMHO. For example it claims that CNN is a highly credible "slightly center left leaning" source, when they are the epitome of fake-news! So credibility is based upon how wide-spread the news is world-wide, i.e. "wide-spread." However, if you could count how many times they went with fake stories that they had to retract, they would definitely be low-credible source. To be fair they are mostly correct on a binary level; they correctly identify news that caters to the left or right of center, even if they incorrectly portray to what degree.

Well, TBH I stumble upon this by mistake but Now I am loving it. If you love reading and majority of your time spent in front of computer screen you shouldn't miss this extension. Would love a app which can work on android. That would be lovely.

Online news is like the Wild West now. Who are you supposed to trust anymore. Not even sure about this but I’m going to give it a shot and see.

Imho I don’t know if I’d use this every day as there are certain publications that I trust no matter what even if I don’t agree with the author or the opinion in the article. Still this seems like it could help with some of those publications I’m not familiar with and if I should even bother reading it.

So I saw a Facebook ad for this thing and decided why not. I’m a journalism student - not sure why when it seems like journalists are not the favorite people right now. Anyways makes me think about what are my own biases and if I can even write without them. I just want to get a job out of school.

Having diff points of view is a good thing . But hearing the other side is good . trying to burst the bubble. this is one of the best extension for chrome try it for your self.

Very Nice. Don’t even know it’s working in the background until I go to search for news. Then I can check if I should read it or not.

Interesting. Does seem to work on telling you the politics of any news item before you are going to read it. Wish it worked with some of the international publications I read.

Nifty. I’m super curious to know if people are using this and then avoiding certain articles or still reading them even though they get this information ahead of time.

Filters out the news. Still up to you what to read since it doesn’t block it.

I just watched a ted talk about filter bubbles and did some googling ad then wound up here. I get it. We are trapped in a Matrix of algorithms that is hard to break out of. The big companies try to personalize everything for you so much but it's like if I click on one article about a Kardashian they think I'm only interested in that stuff and I swear I'm not. It seems like you can use this to kind of retain the algorithms or to break them even. I dunno. I think it'll take some time for it to do that but we'll see.

with all talk about facebook and fake news i wanted a way to try to block some of it i already had the trump blocker lol but then i found this it does not block the news but it tells you if its from a real source or what that helps me decide if i should read it

This is a very good extension.It helps me to determine the political bias and credibility of news articles before I read them.Using this extension I am able to detect fake news in Google Search and in my Facebook News Feed.I recommend this highly.

It is a Best usefull Extention . Thanks For Extention Builder.

Echo all the previous ratings; this extension comes in so handy!

This is awesome! With so much bias all around in media, its very helpful to have this!!

its nice to have

Love that this extension gives me helpful information about articles before I even click.

There is so much bias in news today. This tool is really helpful. I enjoyed being able to find out what the "others" are saying/reading.

I hate clicking on an article *once* and then receiving constant ads or recommendations for similar content, over and over. This is my go-to extension for fixing that problem -- it ID's political bias & gauges an article's credibility before I ever click.

Interesting to get a heads up on what I'm reading.
