Description

Don’t be fooled by fake news. Get Avast News Companion to check your sources for biases and factual reporting.

With Avast News Companion, you can easily and quickly check how accurate and balanced your favorite news sites are. It alerts you when sites have a known political bias, which range from Left to Right, and we'll also tell you about scientific, satiric, and questionable sources.
With this extension you’ll be sure to know the truth behind what you read. Avast News Companion uses algorithms that analyze factual reporting, and verify the statements from the articles against fact-checking databases. Based on that you’ll get alerted about misleading claims or incorrect news.

The extension can also identify conspiracies and propaganda, so you know you're reading the truth.

It helps you to:

- Get all the info before forming an opinion
- Understand your own reading habits
- Make informed decisions about news

Coming soon:

- Reading habits

Visualize what you're reading in descriptive diagrams. We'll show you your stats on politics, tabloids, and science to help you balance your reading habits.

Don’t be fooled, make sure you read real news. Available for Google Chrome™ and other Chromium browsers.

This extension collects info about:

- Which parts of the extension you click on and the order that you click on them. This helps us understand which features you like best.
- The ratings you give us for each article (on whether or not the info was helpful). This helps us make sure the extension works properly.
- The newspaper pages you’re reading. This provides the info to show you your reading habits and insights. We'll never collect info about other browsing habits (like shopping or streaming).

We have a full list of the websites where we track reading. Download it here.

Don’t be fooled, make sure you read real news. Available for Google Chrome™ and other Chromium browsers.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
