My Cognitive Bias: Learn About Cognitive Biases Every New Tab

My Cognitive Bias is a unique Chrome extension that seeks to educate users about cognitive biases. Every time a new tab is opened, a different cognitive bias is explained. These biases, often unbeknownst to us, affect our decisions, opinions, and behaviours. By learning about these biases, it is possible to modify our actions through bias correction. The tool aims to help users better understand and manage their cognitive biases, promoting more rational decisions and behavior.
