Bias Noticer

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.
