From CNET: Microsoft is helping you battle fake news on your phone: Its Edge browser now tells you how reliable sites are.
The company started installing the NewsGuard plug-in -- which you previously had to download manually -- on all mobile versions of the browser, as reported by The Guardian.
After turning on news rating in Edge's settings menu, you can see NewsGuard's shield icon in the browser's address bar whenever you visit a news site. Green indicates a reliable outlet, while red suggests you should be skeptical about what you read.
"Proceed with caution: this website generally fails to maintain basic standards of accuracy and accountability," it said of Russian news site RT.
You can tap the "the full Nutrition label" to learn more. In RT's case, NewsGuard noted that it's "the website of a leading Russian government propaganda effort."
