Easily see if a news site offers credible news or should not be trusted and is un-credible/dodgy.
If you care about sharing news that is credible, download and use this extension to help you identify if the site you are browsing contains credible news or un-credible/dodgy news. We apply set criteria to determine if a news site is credible or not. Assist us by identifying more credible sites and help us spot the ones that are un-credible/dodgy so we can alert others.
