The Factual - News Evaluator is a free Chrome add-on developed by The Factual. It aims to help users determine the quality and reliability of news articles they come across online. With this add-on, users can easily evaluate the informativeness of news articles based on four key factors: the diversity and extent of sources, the level of opinionatedness, the author's expertise on the topic, and the site's historical reputation.

The Factual's grades are instantly displayed on any news article in the user's browser, allowing them to quickly assess the credibility of the information presented. Additionally, the add-on can inject these grades directly into the user's Facebook or Twitter feed, providing them with valuable insights even as they scroll through their social media feeds.

To further enhance the user's experience, The Factual offers a daily newsletter featuring the most informative stories on trending news topics. Users can also opt to receive real-time updates on their new tab page. Privacy is a priority for The Factual, as they only analyze news-related sites and collect information anonymously, without sharing it with anyone.
