NewsGuard Extension

NewsGuard's reliability ratings for news and information sources help users make decisions about which news sources to trust—and avoid misinformation and disinformation.

Our ratings, scores, and Nutrition Labels for websites are displayed next to links on search engines and social media platforms and cover all the news websites accounting for 95% of online engagement.

Ratings are conducted by a team of experienced journalists using nine basic, apolitical journalistic criteria. Each site receives a trust score of 0-100, an overall rating level ranging from “High Credibility” to “Proceed with Caution,” and a thorough Nutrition Label report detailing the site’s ownership and financing, content, credibility practices, transparency practices, and history.

NewsGuard is for personal use only. Any commercial, research, or other non-personal use of NewsGuard is strictly prohibited by our Terms of Service: https://www.newsguardtech.com/terms-of-service/

Dean Williamson (ID: 0000000bc02e2ec4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/15/2023 Excellent. Well done. We all need to develop a critical eye around misinformation and understand the impact.

Antonio Betalli (ID: 000000ba133b1201) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/04/2023 Ho avuto modo di poter provare l'estensione. Molto utile per avere fin da subito un idea su come leggere una notizia. Leggendo le altre recensioni dimostra anche di essere molto cresciuta in questi anni, ampliando il suo database di testate giornalistiche e blog divulgativi, e di aver aumentato i dettagli delle valutazioni fatte. L'unica pecca, facilmente rimediabile, (forse è successo solamente a me) è l'attivazione dell'estensione macchinosa. Avevo difficoltà nell'accedere e successivamente era necessario riavviare il browser per poterla utilizzare.
