Read the publisher’s full description

Transparent media is a chrome browser extension to help provide information on the media bias rating of news sites you read online and track your media consumption habits over time. The extension uses data from allsides.com and mediabiasfactcheck.com to rate news sites on their media bias and quality of source material. The extension delivers rating information to you on a popup window when you read an article and by adding stickers beside google search results. The extension can record the ratings of the articles you read over time and provide information about your media consumption. All these features can be turned on and off on the options page.

Gerhard Knauer Bravo·11 Feb 2026

Great, lightweight extension that doesn't get in the way of anything. I love seeing the bias that's often left out of news articles, so that I can make sure I'm not being politically swayed. This is revolutionary and exactly what our media classes in school would wish we all had. I particularly like how it sources ratings from AllSides rather than being biased itself as an extension.

Daniel Agapov·13 Sept 2023

Great app but it's biased. Fox shows "Media Bias Fact Check: Mixed Sourcing" "All Sides: Right bias" "Media Bias Fact Check: Right Bias" MSNBC shows All Sides: Left bias Despite having the same rating as Fox.(CNN used to as well up until about 2 months ago) MSNBC should say "Media Bias Fact Check: Mixed Sourcing" Great app otherwise, will change rating when problem is remedied!
