Free Chrome extension
The Web Jury Chrome extension overlays crowd-sourced bias and accuracy ratings directly on news articles, YouTube channels, and Twitter accounts — without you leaving the page.
Install for ChromeAlso available for Firefox and Edge. Mobile: use the bookmarklet (no install needed).
Bias rating, accuracy score, and review count appear next to articles, channel pages, and Twitter accounts without you leaving the page.
See an outlet acting out? Click the extension icon, star + bias + one sentence, submit — your review hits the public score without a tab switch.
We only see the hostname you're visiting (anonymously). No reading history, no per-article tracking, no profile sold anywhere.
The extension sends only the hostname of the current page to Web Jury (e.g., "nytimes.com") to look up the bias score. It does not track per-article reading, does not associate with your account unless you sign in, and does not sell or share any data.
Source code is publicly available. Manifest v3 compliant. Reviewed by Chrome Web Store.
If you sign in to Web Jury within the extension, you can quick-rate from the icon. Signed-out usage works fully — just no reviewing.
Does it work in incognito mode?
Only if you explicitly enable it. Chrome disables extensions in incognito by default — open chrome://extensions, find Web Jury, click Details, and toggle "Allow in incognito."
Will it slow down my browser?
Negligible. The extension fires one fetch per hostname (cached locally), then idle until you navigate to a new domain.
What if an outlet has no Web Jury data yet?
The icon shows a neutral state. Click it to add the outlet (paste verification, leave the first review) — your contribution shapes the score going forward.
Firefox? Edge? Safari?
Firefox and Edge work the same as Chrome (manifest v3 compatible). Safari extension is in review. For mobile, use the bookmarklet.
