It only gives connection errors, it does not work. The captcha after installing fails.

It's ok, it's best described as a fact checker for photos and pictures to see if they have been altered in any way or were used in any article or website.

Not great for news

Great idea....poorly executed. Blocks websites that offer sales - example a picture of a credit card triggers this review - and 1/3 of the screen is covered by this extentions saying the 'picture' is safe. There is also a large check mark on top of the credit card image, making the trigger to buy invalid. So the site is rendered useless. I also can not access the settings for the extension...apparently that is not available for Chrome running on linux?

I can't get this app to work for me, so I'm disappointed. A similar app (NewsGuard) works pretty well.

Good idea. But it's US centric. That's about 5% of the worlds population. The rest of us can't use it due to pictures never emerge on US "trusted" sites.

I love this, with one caveat. For Canadians it doesn't have any sources. So for us to fact check Canadian based photos there are no news sources.

Problems with older chrome browser (v48.x) - that is ok not all extensions are backward compatible. Issues with options screen and not seeing the overlay on most images. Test pages worked ok but side bar showing image sources should allow escape key to close side bar as well as scrolling to top to choose close. Choosing sources by logo in setup but not seeing any tool tip telling me who the logo belongs too. 3 star for effort but not really usable for me.
