UPDATE:
You can now set the Dashboard to show only once a day, instead of with every new tab. Just click the settings (gear) icon in the upper right corner of the Dashboard and flip the toggle for display frequency.
You can always access the Dashboard by clicking on the browser extension icon in the upper right.

Read Across The Aisle gives you a visual representation of your filter bubble. Our dashboard shows you your most-read news websites so you can see where you’re spending the most time reading. With the view options, you can see just the last 24 hours, week, or even your indefinite history, so you can track your behavior over time.
Get Free Wall Street Journal Access!
Click the WSJ link (below your most-read site list) to get a free, renewable, guest pass to the Wall Street Journal. Every week you will see the registration prompt again, but you can use the same email address to register each time.
Social Network Tracking
Social networks like Facebook and Twitter are tracked separately, so the color assigned to these sites is based on the partisanship ratings of the links you click on while on social media. So if you click on lots of liberal news from Facebook, then Facebook will show up bright blue. If you click on a mix of news from Facebook, it will show up as purple. The idea is that you can see (1) how much time you spend on social media; and (2) how the news you are exposed to on FB differs from the news you find organically.
We look forward to adding new features, such as customized article recommendations, the ability to display your Dashboard only once or twice per day, and badges to track your accomplishments. Let us know what new features you’d like to see most, and if you’d like to support this free tool, please consider donating via PayPal:

This link has not worked in ~1 year, and the developers acknowledge it is no longer a feature they can offer. Why is this still advertised?
WSJ reading does not work.

Get an error when trying to sign up for the WSJ trial. Ditto with the iOS app. Uninstalled and will not be back.
SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
When I SUBMIT , It response “SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0"
Good concept we will see
The WSJ thing just says “SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0" whenever I try and subscribe to it, very frustrating I tried making sure cookies were allowed, adblock was off, etc, I'm pretty upset about it.
The free access to WSJ has been broken for over a year. I guess they don’t intend to fix it.
Still ridden with errors in regards to WSJ.
“SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0"
It doesnt work
Don’t waste your time.
No free WSJ.
I get the same JSON SyntaxError as mentioned in other reviews when trying to sign up for the WSJ 7-day pass
Didn’t work. When submitting my email for the 7 day guest pass, all I got was:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
it doesn’t work… don’t waste your time, as I did… 🙁
The WSJ access has stopped working as of July 2019. I am getting the same error as other users:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
WSJ link does not work. “SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0"
7 day subscriptions to WSJ is not working. Getting error message: “SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0"
Read Across The Aisle is an insightful additional feature to some extent. While I get some feedback, some sites that I consider news aren’t acknowledged and recorded by RATA meaning my feedback isn’t wholly reliable.
The function enabling temporary subscriptions to WSJ is not working properly at the moment. I had no problem with it until yesterday. Now I am getting this error message: “SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0"
totally useless, it doesnt work at all
I am not sure why some users are not able to get the 7 days of WSJ access but it works for me. You’ll be directed to a WSJ page that will prompt you to key in your email.
I do have uBlock & Privacy Badger activated.
WSJ access works for me 🙂 Didn’t give it 5 stars because site is not https.
The WSJ promo does not work 🙁
It records when it wants to record and the WSJ promo doesnt work. And no I dont have any adblockers
WSJ promo page does not work. I solved this once by disabling my adblocker but that does not seem to work this time. I went so far as to completely uninstall by adblocker, but that did not help. The WSJ header will load, but the rest of the page is blank and I continually get the: Confirm Form Resubmission “The page that you’re looking for used information that you entered. Returning to that page might cause any action you took to be repeated. Do you want to continue?”
