Intel’s Firefox Extension Called ‘Dispute Finder’

Intel is testing a Firefox extension called ‘Dispute Finder’, which claims to determine if claims are BS or not. According to the Intel labs site, they claim that the claims made by others can be disputed by readers and both views on the subject are presented. Though this would seem to be a valuable tool, there is always the possibility that people can shade the truth when presenting their opinions.

According to the blurb on the Intel site, it states that:

The Dispute Finder Firefox Extension highlights disputed claims on web pages you browse and shows you evidence for alternative points of view. Watch the Videos to learn more.

Use this web interface to tell Dispute Finder what snippets to highlight and what evidence to present for alternative viewpoints. You can create a new disputed claim, mark new instances of a claim on the web, and add evidence that supports or opposes a claim.
