Microsoft's mobile Edge browser begins issuing fake news warnings

Microsoft's Edge mobile browser has started flagging fake news sites as part of its latest update for iOS and Android. Previously only available as a desktop plug-in, the feature is powered by news rating company NewsGuard -- which makes a point of using journalists, not algorithms, to identify "unreliable" websites. Its eponymous fake news extension is also available for Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
