This plugin purpose to analyze news articles.

Trusted News uses AI to assist newsreaders in evaluating the quality of the online content they read.

In its first release, it scores the objectivity for a selected article, testing whether it is written from a neutral perspective as opposed to a personal one. For example, phrases like "in my opinion" or "I think" are used by authors to reflect their individual thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. This model has been developed based on scientific research.

- Today this plugin works best on analyzing news articles, or what we call long-form articles.

- For now, it does not work on social media pages, tweets, or profile pages.

- It works best when you are on a tab with a specific piece of content, which doesn’t require infinite scrolling, e.g. the text is neither too short nor too long.
