Get NewsGuard for Microsoft Edge

NewsGuard is free on the Edge browser—courtesy of Microsoft.

NewsGuard shows you trust ratings for 35,000+ news and information sources–written by trained journalists based on nine journalistic criteria. We tell you who’s behind each site, how it’s funded, and whether you can trust it.

With our browser extension, you’ll see NewsGuard’s trust scores right next to links on search engines and social media feeds across all major platforms. You can click on each score to access our detailed Nutrition Label, so you know who’s feeding you the news. Learn More.

NewsGuard requires a monthly subscription for access on most internet browsers—but it’s free for all users of the Edge browser thanks to Microsoft, which has sponsored NewsGuard as a tool to fight misinformation and disinformation online.

For access on mobile devices, download Microsoft Edge for iOS or Android, then enable “News Ratings” in the app settings.
