What is Trustnav?

Trustnav is an AI-powered browser extension that aims to tackle the problem of misinformation and deception online. It analyzes website content in real-time using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to detect signs of misinformation, political bias, clickbait headlines, questionable claims or sources, and other forms of deceptive or malicious content.

As users browse the web, Trustnav displays visual ratings and warnings overlayed on webpages to indicate the general trustworthiness of sites based on the content analysis. These real-time insights help users identify credible, fact-based news sources versus potential misinformation campaigns or sites pushing agenda-driven narratives. There are also options to view more detailed Trustnav analysis reports for each site.

Beyond evaluations of general site credibility, Trustnav also warns users about specific articles making disputed, unverified or intentionally misleading claims. This empowers readers to investigate further and make more informed judgments before believing or sharing content. The extension also encourages smarter sharing habits by prompting users to consider and confirm information accuracy before posting articles containing questionable details to social platforms.

With advanced NLP and a constantly evolving knowledge-base of known credible/dubious sites, Trustnav serves as an assisting second opinion for web users seeking transparency around the information they consume and share online. The goal is to mitigate harms from misinformation proliferation, while supporting reader autonomy in interpreting content.
