| 2025-02-07 | madqueen | | 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!! |
| 2024-08-01 | Firefox user 17983685 | | 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. |
| 2023-11-14 | tnt | | Is nothing like the original MBFC app that used to be really useful. All this one did was slow down Firefox, and cause it to crash. I know this because Firefox was telling me so with a unclickable blinking annoying "MBFC is slowing down Firefox". So it's gone. |
