NewsGuard addon Firefox -- if you are curious
Posted: Fri, 01 Feb 2019 12:01:05
Out of curiosity I installed NewsGuard addon to Firefox.
After installation I expected an overlay to appear on the less-than-desireable-sites as viewed by NewsGuard but that was not the case. It placed a small icon on the toolbar at the far right of the browser.
It apparently automatically assesses the page and provides a report if the site has been submitted. Breitbart.com has been submitted, however, https://www.cnn.com has not << funny! (I did submit it).
The first screen while on the page displays a partial listing of the assessment.

A complete listing/story is found by clicking See the Full Nutrition Label link in the dialog box.
