Inspiration
- In today's information age, the overwhelming amount of online content makes discerning truth from fiction increasingly difficult.
- To combat the widespread nature of fake news, we created a Chrome Extension that has the primary purpose to help combat misinformation.
- This seamlessly integrates into your browsing experience, giving a reality check to the content you see.
- The Following softwares were used to build:
- AI: Utilizes deep learning in Pytorch
- Backend: Firebase was used to store all information
- Chrome Web Extension: Made with HTML, CSS and Javascript
- Designing code to support dynamic content with many elements was confusing to implement and needed to be designed from the get-go.
- Balancing the functions for both text and images was fairly challenging too.
- Overall, we are proud that this powerful extension has a large capacity, and has many elements to work as an extension
- We learned to integrate DOM manipulation in the frontend, backend, and training an AI model to integrate them all together in a chrome extension
- In the future, we aim to deploy a free version (current) and paid version (checks even without user highlighting) for the public
