not affiliated ≠ Official #5

I'd love to recommend this extension to staff and students at work, but I hesitate before describing it as Official. https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/media-bias-fact-check-icon/ offers the contradiction:

… Not affiliated with MBFC …

Please, might you change the name?

From:

to:

TIA

Note, this is not to doubt the goodness of the extension. Just attention to detail with naming (I should expect some academic colleagues to similarly question the 'official' wording).

Dave Van Zandt, the owner of MBFC, asked me to call the exension “official”. You can email him if you’d like verification.

@JeffreyATW thanks, the clarification is enough, I'll trust you. Thanks for the openness :+1:
