Search Bias Indicator for Chrome: Assess Political Bias
Search Bias Indicator is a Chrome add-on designed to enhance the Google Search experience by providing users with a visual representation of the political bias present in search results. The tool features a scoring system that indicates the potential political leanings of various sources, helping users make informed decisions about the information they consume.
The scoring mechanism is based on data extracted from the Interactive Media Bias Chart, which normalizes political bias ratings. The add-on prioritizes links based on their ranking and size, assigning higher weights to more prominent results. As an open-source project, the developer aims to expand its data sources to improve accuracy and reduce reliance on a single site, ensuring a more comprehensive analysis of media bias.
