User reviews
I am just starting to use Ground News. The website works great and I would like to use the browser extension, and it simply will not work. I am having the same issue as another review here, I am using MS Edge.
The browser extension keeps saying that any article I look at isn't recognized and it keeps wanting me to re-sign in and simply directs to the browser page, which is signed in when attempting to log in.

I love Ground News, but the browser extension keeps saying that any article I look at isn't recognized and it keeps wanting me to re-sign in even if I signed in a second beforehand.

Its a great addon for getting the bias check when reading articles or news. My one issue with it is that the addon is an overlay on top of the website instead of pushing the site content down and it being above it in the top row. Currently there are often site buttons obstructed by the overlay which means I have to close the addon to use the website properly. It would be nice if it didnt cover the buttons but instead moved the website down so the buttons at the top of sites are right under the addon itself.
