Description

For some time, Google published an "In the news" module at the top of certain search results. This was separate from Google News results (which are collected from verified publishers), but instead promoted whatever #content was particularly clicky and happened to match the user's search phrase.

Sometimes these stories were wrong, or outright fake. For a few weeks after the 2016 election, searching "2016 popular vote" would hand you a fake news article (falsely) declaring Donald Trump the popular winner. Searching "aliens" returned a story about how extraterrestrials had be caught on camera "sucking energy from the sun."

Google has since changed the name of the section to "Top stories," but that still isn't precise enough. This extension replaces that title with one of several more accurate options.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
