Fake News Detector

Most fact-checking tools work by looking a claim up in someone else's database or by applying a fixed list of rules. Fake News Detector takes the opposite route: the neural network ships with the extension and the analysis runs entirely inside your browser. That means the article you are reading never leaves your machine, which is the core of its privacy pitch.

When you land on a page that looks problematic, the extension surfaces a warning and, importantly, an explanation of why it was flagged. The signals it weighs are things you would expect a careful reader to notice: whether the source seems credible, whether the language is emotionally charged or sensational, and whether the content contains misleading or inaccurate information.

It is also deliberately frictionless. There is no account to create, no login step and no subscription — you install it and it starts working. The developer declares that no personal information is collected or shared and that data is neither sold to third parties nor used for creditworthiness or lending decisions. The extension is a small side project rather than a commercial product, so treat its judgments as a helpful nudge to check further, not as a verdict.
