rbutr destroys misinformation and promotes critical thinking online.
Rbutr tells you when the webpage you are viewing has been disputed, rebutted or contradicted elsewhere on the internet.
This is the rbutr's browser extension (WebExtensions).

rbutr is a community-driven app which connects webpages together on the basis that one page argues against the other. Visit a rebutted page and you will be told "There are rebuttals to this page." You can then open up the rebutting article(s). Found a great rebuttal? Connect it to the page(s) it rebuts so that people reading those articles can know about it. Want a rebuttal for a page you have found? Submit a request to the community. Click here for more information and screenshots
Caution!
If you are using Windows, you need to use the Linux subsystem in order to execute the build scripts.

The Dev-Mode has currently 2 functionalities implemented.
- Instead of connecting to the productive server, it connects to a Test-Server. This way you can test code changes or just play around without affecting the live data.
- It gives you log messages in the console.
