it's not about blocking, it's about indicating and suggesting users which sources and true and which sources are fake.
is a country is on US's side, then they are always true, but if a country is not a US ally, then they downplay their sources and news reports, happens all the time.
Microsoft should stay away from this dirty business.

Jan 24, 2021Yes, I totally agree with the first point, it is just suggesting you but you are in control if you want to believe it or not.
Yes, Microsoft should not be affiliated with this.

- DeletedJan 25, 2021Yup,
- HotCakeXJan 25, 2021MVPYeah it is annoying, and also humiliating when a company tries to inflict their own biased agenda on people.
- DeletedJan 25, 2021Yup, I barely use it and it really messes the serach results since all I see is these weird bages that have a color. Really annoying.
- HotCakeXJan 25, 2021MVPAll I can do on my side is to give it a 1 star and hope everyone is educated and aware enough not to get brainwashed by such extensions.
- HotCakeXJan 25, 2021MVPI think they pay the store to spotlight their extensions and as long as they're not violating any terms they can do so
- HotCakeXJan 25, 2021MVPYeah, that's good idea to remove it, someone else's opinion about news doesn't matter at all
- DeletedJan 24, 2021For some od reason, I can't seem to edit my review on the addons store, you should send feedabck about the newsguard on thier extenstion store!!

To less recommend others about it - DeletedJan 24, 2021You're welcome!!
I have the extension but I don't' really care about the ratings, it is just in the way of all my search results better just remove it. - HotCakeXJan 24, 2021MVPYeah, thanks for the support
