Features & Capabilities

Main Currents analyzes news articles and social media comments to detect coordinated propaganda campaigns, artificial amplification, and manipulation in online discourse. It highlights suspicious content directly in your browser as you browse Reddit, Twitter/X, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, and Hacker News. Think of it as an ad-blocker for propaganda — helping you identify foreign influence operations, bot-like behavior, and coordinated inauthentic activity so you can make more informed decisions about the content you consume.

Is main-currents Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

main-currents requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
