| 2024-12-16 | Car Moda | | if 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. |

| 2024-10-31 | Dayton | | Rendered my browser unusable when I was on journalism websites, furthermore, should work on a whitelist without the need to get all my browsing data. |
| 2024-09-28 | PxbVic | | This 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... |

| 2024-07-01 | Mike Walsh | | This 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. |
| 2024-06-28 | Firefox user 5905964 | | Just no: "Access your data for all websites" What for? I pay for the service, but you need to put out a sensible addon. |
