DATA

This extension is brought to you by Cybersecurity company MetaCert. It was built by some of the most experienced browser developers in the world.

MetaCert is also the #1 company in the world for URL Classification - hosting the world's biggest database of classified content. It’s Founder and CEO Paul Walsh, co-instigated the creation of the W3C Standard for URL Classification.

MetaCert aggregates all of the data provided by trusted, unbiased Fact Checkers such as Snopes, Politifact and Buzzfeed and puts it into a single database.

MetaCert then crawls, finds and labels the social media accounts that news sites own - in a way that no other company can. This is how we have the world's biggest database of classified news to help combat disinformation online through a powerful API.

This is not a politically motivated extension. We simply believe in providing society with more information in order to make better informed choices before consuming content on the Web.

Our goal is to show the big players how to make use of the MetaCert API for implementation on their own Platforms.
