Checking: "Drinking 8 glasses of water a day is scientifically required for good health"
Misleading
Confidence 72%

The "8 glasses" rule is a popular simplification without robust scientific backing. Actual hydration needs vary by body weight, climate, and activity. No major health body endorses a fixed quantity.

Not just true or false.

Most fact-checkers give you a binary answer. We give you the full picture.

True

Multiple credible sources confirm the claim with strong consensus.

False

Research clearly and directly contradicts what the claim states.

Misleading

Technically grounded but missing context that changes the meaning.

?

Unverifiable

Evidence is insufficient or conflicting. We never guess or fabricate.

Built to handle the real internet.

Most fact-checkers only check pre-indexed claims. This one searches live, every time.

📸

Screenshot anything

Drag to select any area on screen — images, tweets, charts, video screenshots, headlines. If you can see it, you can fact-check it.

Confidence scoring

Every verdict includes a 0–100% confidence score reflecting the quality and consensus of evidence found — not just the AI's opinion.

How to install Step-by-step instructions ↓

Because this extension ships outside the Chrome Web Store, you install it in Developer Mode — a standard, safe, built-in browser feature supported by all Chromium browsers. This is how developers and power-users have always sideloaded trusted extensions.

1

Download & unzip

Click the button above. Save and unzip the file to a permanent folder — Chrome needs the folder to stay there.

2

Enable Developer Mode

Open your browser's extension manager: chrome://extensions (Chrome/Brave/Opera) or edge://extensions (Edge). Toggle Developer mode on — it's the switch in the top-right corner.

3

Click "Load unpacked"

Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder. FactChecker AI will appear instantly.

4

Add your API key

Click the extension icon → open Settings → paste your free Gemini API key. You're done.
