I love the IDEA of this extension, and the general goal of MBFC... but the extension, especially on the socials, is WILDLY out of sync. Worse, there seems to be NO mechanism to suggest edits or point out issues. A bunch of pages are marked as Left/Right or Far Right/Left, which are CLEARLY not, others are showing "Pro science" when they are NOT, and a bunch of others are reporting completely different sources from the person posting. Example: Filledelaspace, a space and science poster marked as Right (which is laughable) but looking at the report, it shows that poster to be a talk radio station in Kentucky - just OFF. Don't know if it's a database problem on the back end... something interfering with reports... or something weird, but there's very little info in the drop down, and no place to respond/comment. I have to uninstall the extension because it's just useless.
