Extension summary

In a world filled with fake news and alternative facts, get the real deep sources for your information.

DeepCite is an algorithm which takes in a website and claim, then searches through that website for any similar passages. If it finds any, it checks to see if that passage links to any other websites and the then the algorithm repeats itself. This allows the user to easily trace back otherwise difficult to find source and quickly figure out how reliable a piece of information actually is.
