av kungfujoe, för 4 år sedanI love the idea, but this extension's permissions are serious overkill, calling its trustworthiness into questions. From Mozilla, "The extension can read the content of any web page you visit as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords."
For what this extension does, the "Access Browser Tabs" permission should be entirely sufficient. There's no reason for it to "access your data for all websites."

- Betygsatt 2 av 5av felda9000, för 4 månader sedanAs of 2026-05-21 on Firefox, the need to login to Ground News every day is required for the extension to function. Annoyingly high friction.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Benjamin Haube, för ett år sedanThe concept is great, but in practice this extension acts more like malware or spyware. I noticed this extension causing rendering issues on a ton of websites that are not even news/journalism related. The biggest concern was the Bitwarden web app. This extension is snooping on every website you visit, and sending that information to who knows where. Thankfully, I caught it, but only because it was causing issues with how pages are rendered. I am paying for your service, so why do you need access to all of my browsing data? I have removed the extension now. I completely lost all trust in it.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Entice, för 2 år sedanCompletely removes a lot of random buttons on BoardGameGeek that are necessary for website navigation

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 10266899, för 2 år sedanThe 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.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Car Moda, för 2 år sedanif 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.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Dayton, för 2 år sedanRendered my browser unusable when I was on journalism websites, furthermore, should work on a whitelist without the need to get all my browsing data.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av PxbVic, för 2 år sedanThis 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...

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Mike Walsh, för 2 år sedanThis 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.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 5905964, för 2 år sedanJust no: "Access your data for all websites" What for? I pay for the service, but you need to put out a sensible addon.

- Betygsatt 2 av 5av roke_julian_lockhart, för 3 år sedanBy default, I am unable to log in to the extension despite being authenticated via the browser. You have to manually enable "Access your data for https://extension.ground.news" in about:addons.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Lightspill, för 3 år sedanThis 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.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Juliana, för 3 år sedanI 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.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 17912944, för 3 år sedanAccess 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.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av lightz0, för 4 år sedanYeah 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.
