Its a great addon for getting the bias check when reading articles or news. My one issue with it is that the addon is an overlay on top of the website instead of pushing the site content down and it being above it in the top row. Currently there are often site buttons obstructed by the overlay which means I have to close the addon to use the website properly. It would be nice if it didnt cover the buttons but instead moved the website down so the buttons at the top of sites are right under the addon itself.

Jeg kan godt lide idéen bag denne udvidelse, men at sende mig videre til jeres hjemmeside er IKKE praktisk. Det burde fungerer inde for udvidelsen's rammer, og havde også forventet, noget mere a'la Web of Trust, ift. om noget var "BIASED" eller "NOT BIASED" - eller noget helt andet, man går med.

This is a great service but I'm removing one star because as of writing this review when I'm on a news article and click the "Full Coverage" button I get a 404 not found page on the Ground.News website. The URL ends in "undefined" and all I have to do to see the correct page is delete "undefined". Please update this extension to fix this. Thank you, great service!
