About this extension
Explore the press from your computer, with no middlemen between the newspapers and your web browser, protecting your privacy.
Discover millions of results within seconds and check the last ones of each sources.
Schedule searches, select your press review and export it in a few clicks.
Meta-Press.es works in Firefox, Icecat Mobile on Android and other browsers too. Check https://meta-press.es/ for news, documentation and donations.
Why use this extension as opposed to Google News?
- To protect your privacy : Meta-Press.es does not monitor your usage (your requests don't reach our servers, we don't need servers at all), and protects you against ads and newspapers trackers
- To get back the control : Meta-Press.es lets you know exactly in which source (newspaper, scientific press, agendas, social networks…) your search is performed and it even lets you to chose them
- To make your press-review : exporting in RSS (JSON or CSV) format the results you want
- To avoid ads using a honest trust-worthy libre-software
What do we collect?
Nothing. With Meta-Press.es your computer directly connects to your selected newspapers.
But you can willingly send us feedback about the sources.
If nothing happens once installed
- the Meta-Press.es icon might just be waiting for you behind the « puzzle piece » extension menu of your browser ;
- you might have skipped to give Meta-Press.es the permission to run in private mode, while using the private mode by default.
What do I do if I have trouble?
Head for the documentation in the official web site, or visit our Framagit page to get in touch.
Permissions :
- if you are using the private browsing mode, beware not to miss the installation time authorization popup to allow Meta-Press.es to run in private mode (or you won't see the Meta-Press.es icon)
- the host permission is needed to read results from the queried source, only those sources are targeted, and permissions can be dropped between searches
- the notification permission is only used to signal the end of a long search or new results in a scheduled search
- the alarm permission is used to schedule searches
- the storage permission is used to remember settings and custom sources
Also, this addon periodically (usually once a year) opens the "journal" page of the Meta-Press.es project website to present new features.
