I built something that might help combat misinformation online
I've been ragebaiting myself watching Jubilee on Youtube for the past few months. But the amount of misinformation that people assume to be true is kinda appalling
from my own experience i feel like ppl dont try to fact check stuff cuz we are inherently lazy. We don't want to open a new tab, type stuff to chatgpt/google, read the results and come back to where we left off. I think this friction is a major barrier
idk if this is the actual problem in the first place or not, but i tried building an extension that let's you fact check anything by circling it with your mouse once. So it cuts down on this friction and it returns all the verified sources while u continue doing what u were doing
no tab switching, no copy pasting into gpt
i've been using it for a while and honestly it's kinda addictive and useful imo
