- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10266899, a month agoThe website is great but the extension just doesn't work. It breaks the formatting of pages on Reddit and even though I added reddit.com to the "Hidden Sources", it still appears on the page. Uninstalling until the devs fix this.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Car Moda, 3 months agoif this service is supposed to identify bias, then it's a huge fail. they also seem to be uninterested in correcting errors. it's certainly not worth paying for in my opinion.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Dayton, 4 months agoRendered my browser unusable when I was on journalism websites, furthermore, should work on a whitelist without the need to get all my browsing data.
- Rated 1 out of 5by PxbVic, 5 months agoThis is a great concept I really like it, but it thrashed the CPU at 100% while running on any web site, I had to uninstall it for this reason... I was going to get a subscription, but the CPU thrashing is too much...

- Rated 1 out of 5by Mike Walsh, 8 months agoThis extension sends every url you visit back to ground news. This is far too broad. As far as I can tell, they don't state whether these requests are stored and for how long. They seem to have implemented some sort of a black list in the extension, but it really should work as a whitelist instead. Their list of sources can't be that large.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5905964, 8 months agoJust no: "Access your data for all websites" What for? I pay for the service, but you need to put out a sensible addon.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Lightspill, a year agoThis extension may be well-intentioned, but it is a serious violation of trust and privacy. We verified that whenever we accessed a URL even on a personal server, a second request from an AWS instance would follow for the same resource. This is way, way, way inappropriate. And far worse than anything I would have expected given the stated purpose.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Juliana, 2 years agoI love the site, but this extension is SO BUGGY! I can't save citation, the top bar when I open a news site doesn't recognize I'm logged in already. Horrible.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17912944, 2 years agoAccess to the website requires download of an add-on to my browser. Warning label says they will have access to all my browsing data if I download and use it. NO WAY WILL I ALLOW THAT. I am looking for a way to cancel my subscription, but their web address comes back 401. Not a good sign.
- Rated 1 out of 5by lightz0, 2 years agoYeah I like ground news as an idea but the small percentage of users cursed to read Terms of Service agreements I also take issue with the over-reach here. Good idea, well designed layout, no you cant have all my data and expect me to pay for it.
