Inspector: Verify News Sources
Inspector is a Chrome extension that helps users verify the reliability of news sources while browsing the web. It uses machine learning and a pre-compiled list of known sources to identify suspicious webpages and articles. Users can check if a webpage falls under categories like trusted, fake, biased, conspiracy, and more. It also provides a trust score for article text and suggests related articles for reference. Please note that this extension is meant to be used as a guideline, and the determination of a news source's trustworthiness ultimately relies on user judgement.
