Credibility ratings appear automatically when an article loads, giving readers immediate context before they start reading. Clicking the extension reveals a deeper breakdown of how the source performs across credibility, accuracy, and bias.
Double-clicking unfamiliar political jargon brings up a clear, in-context definition. This helps readers understand complex language without leaving the article or breaking their reading flow.
Median highlights references to laws, bills, and court cases and provides short summaries on hover. Readers can quickly understand the relevance of legal references or click through to explore the original source.
Statements that may be misleading or inaccurate are automatically highlighted as readers move through an article. This feature encourages closer evaluation without interrupting the overall reading experience.
