When clicked, you will see a popup screen with a search bar open up. The search bar will automatically be filled out with the relevant search wds based on the CNN article you were reading. Also on the popup screen is a group of 10 buttons representing 10 different news websites, one of which is foxnews.com.

The extension also has another function, which is optional to use. After perfming a comparison of two articles, you might want to let others know about any differences you noticed  them. A companion website has been created at www.newscompare.net.

When the “Submit to NewsCompare.net” button is clicked, it takes the user to the submit page on NewsCompare.net,  it automatically fills in the web addresses of the two articles into the appropriate fm on the page.
