Extension summary

I made Polygraph to combat clickbait. Many journalists and writers use overly sensationalistic, exaggerating or downright deceitful headlines in order to attract attention. The extension analyzes the title and tells you about all the things that are possibly wrong with the article.

Important! Polygraph is an experiment. As such, it is far from perfect. It is also open source: http://bit.ly/2j4zG6m
