Sentinel Red helps Canadians identify foreign-owned media masquerading as local sources. The extension analyzes websites you visit and alerts you when browsing non-Canadian media outlets, helping you make informed choices about your news consumption. No data is collected or shared – all analysis happens locally on your device.
The extension visually indicates through toolbar icons whether a news source is Canadian-owned, foreign-owned, or unverified. It tracks major media conglomerates including Postmedia Network, Sun Media, and Saltwire Network, while highlighting Canadian alternatives like CBC, The Narwhal, and The Tyee.
With media ownership increasingly concentrated among foreign corporations, Sentinel Red empowers users to support Canadian journalism and maintain diverse perspectives in their news diet.
