FaktNews grades the trustworthiness of the website you're currently viewing. For each website you visit, we average [Majestic's](https://majestic.com) trustworthiness and citation values, our own measure, and a community's vote to give you an overall grade.\n\nThis repository is a refinement of [our work](https://github.com/jamesevickery/astonhack2017): it's ~325% faster, the GUI has been revamped, and has a website version so can run queries outside the extension.\n\n## Support\n\nWe currently support any browser that uses the [WebExtensions API](https://browserext.github.io). 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.\n\n\n#### Chrome\n\nTo install on Chrome do the following:\n1. Go to `chrome://extensions`\n2. Enable `Developer mode`\n3. Click `Load unpacked extension...`\n4. Navigate to the `Extension` folder, and click `Open` on the folder\n\n\n#### Firefox\n\nTo install on FireFox do the following:\n1. Go to `about:debugging`\n2. Tick `Enable add-on debugging`\n3. Click `Load Temporary Add-on`\n4. Navigate to the `Extension` folder, and click `Open` on any item inside the folder\n\n\n#### Opera\n\nTo install on Opera do the following:\n1. Press `Ctrl-Shift-E` or navigate to: `Menu \u003e Extensions \u003e Extensions`\n2. Click `Developer Mode`\n3. Click `Load unpacked extension...`\n4. Navigate to the `Extension` folder, and click `OK` on the folder\n\n\n#### Edge\n\nWhile the extension is compatible with Edge, it is not going to be implemented as Edge Extensions must be published on the Windows Store.\n\n\u003csup\u003e\u003csub\u003e**NB:** SVG CSS rotation is not working (as of end 2017) in Edge. This means that the Pie Chart sections will overlap, and the Circlular progression bars will start on the horizontal axis.
