Fair and Balanced is a Chrome extension that aims to protect users from malicious news sites. With this extension, you can easily identify and avoid websites that engage in fake or misleading news practices. This program categorizes these websites on a 1-4 scale, providing users with a clear indication of their trustworthiness.

The main purpose of Fair and Balanced is to warn users when they are viewing a malicious news site. These sites may include fake or misleading stories, circulate unreliable information, or use clickbait headlines to drive traffic. The extension also includes purposefully fake websites like The Onion in its classification.

Developed by Logan, Fair and Balanced is a free extension available on the Chrome platform. It is categorized under Browsers and falls into the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The program currently uses a popup-based system, but there are plans to switch to a notification-based system in the future.

With Fair and Balanced, users can make informed decisions about the news sources they engage with, helping to combat the spread of misinformation and fake news.
