- Readers who want context before opening the news
- Worth noticing
- The proposed extension separates author, emotional-impact, and source cards, with browser-side computation and an explicit “unknown” state.
Field notes
The proposed extension presents three kinds of context beside an article: author background, a browser-computed emotional-impact estimate, and linked external evidence. Its stated source policy favors science, statistics, official figures, and coverage elsewhere in Europe rather than another newspaper. The project also says each number will carry a method version and weak signals will appear as “unknown.”
