For Aston University's 2017 Hackathon we submitted a browser extension called FaktNews.
FaktNews grades the trustworthiness of the website you're currently viewing. For each website you visit, we average Majestic's trustworthiness value, our own measure, and the community's vote to give you an overall grade.
We currently support any browser that uses the WebExtensions API. This includes Chrome, Firefox, and Edge among others. Internet Explorer does not have support, and we do not plan to add it. Ensure your browser is up-to-date, as there are many known issues with older builds.
