FediRel Detector automatically discovers Fediverse profiles on any webpage you visit. It detects links through <code>rel="me"</code> attributes and <code>fediverse:creator</code> meta tags, making it easy to find and follow content creators on Mastodon and other Fediverse platforms.

The extension displays a visual indicator in your toolbar when Fediverse links are detected. Click the icon to see all discovered profiles organized by type - from verified identity links to profile metadata. All links open directly, letting you quickly navigate to Fediverse accounts without manual searching.
