I love the concept of this add-on. However, when I click on it on a news website to view more information on the particular bias, the text box blinks uncontrollably. It's a nightmare, and I really want to use this add-on in my day-to-day. Please fix that blinking!!

This is a very simple extension but an invaluable tool to quickly ascertain the quality and reputation of news sources being shared on social media platforms like reddit, lemmy, bluesky, mastodon, etc. I can't imagine browsing the internet anymore without it.
