Fake news sites are proliferating every day, and it's becoming more and more difficult to identify reliable news. This extension adds a button to your browser bar, allowing you to instantly check whether a news site is fake using a neural network, the same technology as Siri and self-driving cars! Demo at fakenewsai.com.
This extension only analyzes websites when you ask it to. It is completely inactive otherwise, so it cannot slow down your browsing!
How it works for those curious: the extension analyzes a given news website for factors like its writing sophistication, site popularity, headline content, code structure, and many more. It then sends these factors to a neural network, which combines these factors numerically to produce a prediction. The best way to understand what the neural network is doing with the factors is by analogy: when you encounter a news website and try to determine whether it is fake, your brain combines all of the factors it sees and produces a guess based on intuition. The neural network does the same, except with numbers, in such a way that it produces accurate predictions on a list of known fake and real websites.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
