Misinformation-Detective_V1 - A Solution to Misinformation Problem
Release v1.0.0 · Misinformation Detective-v1
This is the initial stable release of [Misinformation Detective-v1], a privacy-first, decentralized Chrome extension framework built to act as an immediate factual shield against online disinformation.
🛠️ What's New in v1.0.0
- Live Automated Scanning: Background text extraction that safely captures webpage headlines and prepares them for context evaluation.
- On-Demand Fact-Check Terminal: An interactive, glassmorphic UI terminal allowing users to manually paste custom claims or text blocks for instant verification.
- Decentralized BYOK Engine: Full integration with
chrome.storage.local, allowing users to securely input their own Serper and OpenRouter keys—completely eliminating centralized server tracking and hosting overhead. - AI-Assisted Optimization: Highly optimized system prompts that force low-temperature, structured JSON schemas from open-source LLMs to prevent user interface anomalies.
⚠️ PRECAUTIONS & USAGE NOTICE
- API Quota Management: Because this extension connects directly to your live Serper and OpenRouter developer endpoints, frequent automated browsing may consume your provider account's free tiers or daily credits.
- Key Safety: Your API tokens are isolated entirely within your local browser sandbox. They are never transmitted to, viewed by, or managed by us. Keep your personal keys confidential.
