Summary
With the increasing prevalence of misinformation and biased content, evaluating the credibility of online information has become more challenging This project aims to develop a Google Chrome extension that allows users to highlight text and receive a bias and credibility assessment via an API-powered analysis. The extension features a pop-up UI to trigger both functions. Designed for ease of use, it aims to enhance critical engagement with digital content, benefiting researchers and students. Future developments could include refining API accuracy, integrating multiple credibility sources, and expanding language support to improve the tool’s performance across different content formats.
