Fake News Detector: Identify and Highlight Fake News While Browsing

Fake News Detector is a free Chrome extension developed by DareDevelopers-giacomofava. As the name suggests, this extension helps users identify and highlight fake news while browsing the web. It is particularly useful for users who want to ensure they are consuming accurate and reliable information.

The extension works by marking fake news articles in RED and clickbait or potentially fake news articles in ORANGE. This visual distinction allows users to quickly identify and differentiate between trustworthy and dubious sources. Additionally, when browsing on platforms like Facebook, where new posts continuously load while scrolling, users can simply click on the extension's logo to recheck all the new posts for fake news.

Overall, Fake News Detector is a valuable tool for anyone concerned about the prevalence of fake news online. By providing a simple and effective way to identify and highlight potentially misleading information, this extension helps users make more informed decisions about the news they consume.

This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
