The extension allows you to have an image or video open in your browser and then work through a checklist that prompts you to investigate:
1) if you are looking at an original piece of content
2) how confident you are about who created the content
3) how confident you are about when the content was captured
4) how confident you are about where the content was captured.
The extension calculates a verification score and creates a button that can be embedded on your website. The app was funded by the Shuttleworth Foundation and built by Claire Wardle of First Draft News and Gilad Penn. Find us at Firstdraftnews.com
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
