Overview
See through the propaganda. AI-assisted critical reading that highlights bias signals — never censors content.
Bias Noticer is a privacy-first critical-reading layer for Chrome, Brave, and Edge. Inspired by the “put on the sunglasses” moment from They Live — as a metaphor for media literacy, not as official merchandise — it highlights specific rhetorical techniques in news, opinion, and long-form writing. No left/right meter. No censorship. No selling your data. WHAT IT DOES • Extracts readable article text from the page you already opened • Analyzes with your own xAI Grok API key (BYOK), or offline heuristics if you have no key • Paints non-destructive highlights with glassmorphic tooltips • Side panel: signals, summary, evidence, research paste, glossary • Research paste for lawfully obtained full text + exportable audit brief • Themes: Light, Dark, System, and They Live retro • Shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+B shades · Ctrl+Shift+Y panel · Alt+[ ] navigate WHAT IT IS NOT • Not a partisan “bias score” • Not a fact-checker that issues final verdicts • Not a paywall bypass or content blocker PRIVACY • API key stays in chrome.storage.local on your device • Optional limited mode that avoids sending full article text • Local cache you can clear anytime • No ads, no trackers, no data marketplace ETHICS AI-assisted analysis is not infallible. Use it to sharpen judgment — not replace it. Support journalism you value. Bias Noticer only analyzes text already available in your browser or that you paste after lawful access. Install, pin the icon, open a long-form article, and put on the shades.
