Quackcheck: A Browser Add-on for Evaluating Article Sources
Quackcheck is a free browser add-on developed by Joel, designed to assist users in evaluating the credibility of article sources. Available on the Chrome platform, this add-on falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools.
With the increasing abundance of information available online, it is crucial to discern the reliability of sources. Quackcheck aims to address this issue by analyzing the links within an article and providing users with valuable insights. By simply clicking on the extension in the browser toolbar while reading an article, a popup is generated, presenting a list of all the links found.
The main purpose of Quackcheck is to help users determine if the article's sources are properly cited and if those sources can be considered trustworthy. This allows readers to make more informed decisions and avoid being misinformed by articles lacking proper justification or referencing. With Quackcheck, users can easily evaluate the credibility of sources and gain a deeper understanding of the information they encounter online.
