## Description

<strong>TRUST Review</strong> helps researchers and educators conduct structured evaluations of information tools — search engines, academic databases, and AI assistants — using the <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/c192f817d693b2ca2c4b662f7e9714fc14f99097510a9d26d4ccc7e9af14871e/https%3A//www.utwente.nl/library/" rel="nofollow">TRUST Framework</a> developed at the University of Twente.

Everything happens inside a browser sidebar:
<ul><li><strong>Capture evidence</strong> — screenshot the active tab at native resolution and archive the page HTML.</li><li><strong>Annotate</strong> — draw arrows, boxes, labels, and freehand strokes over captures with a built-in canvas editor.</li><li><strong>Score</strong> — evaluate each rubric principle on a 0–3 scale (with N/A and "unsure"), attaching the captured evidence directly to each item.</li><li><strong>Export</strong> — finish with a self-contained review package: CSVs of scores/metadata plus a standalone HTML report (fully inlined, viewable anywhere).</li></ul>
Multi-session support keeps every review independent, with debounced auto-save to local storage. Switch between reviews, resume incomplete ones, or start fresh.

<strong>Privacy.</strong> The extension is fully local. There is no backend, no account system, and no analytics or telemetry — all sessions, screenshots, and exports live in the browser's IndexedDB and never leave the machine. The only outbound connection is to a vendor CDN (<code><a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/f73128d8323bca26d77a4083bd841e7db1a08c5a0dd680de67e8f11e8a874aad/http%3A//cdn.tldraw.com" rel="nofollow">cdn.tldraw.com</a></code>) that serves UI translations for the annotation canvas; no user data is sent there.

Built with <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/090b6d29ceb548653d6d220f29109c30367cf847459e06449172c1947d28f9de/https%3A//wxt.dev/" rel="nofollow">WXT</a> and React.
