The Other Side Extension

Ever felt like you keep reading the same takes on the same issues over and over again? Want to expand your horizons and challenge your biases? Then this is the app for you.

The Other Side processes and identifies key topics on each webpage that you visit, and gives you occasional reminders to read contradictory pieces. This happens completely automatically, with no user input needed. It's the easiest way to escape the echo chamber and view the world through someone else's eyes, giving you greater understanding of the issues that you care about.
