Bias Noticer
See through the propaganda.
Bias Noticer is a privacy-first browser extension that highlights rhetorical techniques and framing in news and long-form writing. It is not a left/right meter, not a censor, and not a paywall bypass. Optional AI analysis uses your xAI Grok key (BYOK); offline heuristics work without a key.
