EXTENSION

What's new

The current Annotated extension, a 30-second way to update the copy you already installed, and what changed.

Current extension 0.2.2

Changelog

0.2.2

  • Highlights now paint reliably for passages that start with quotes or have odd context.

0.2.1

  • The header mark stays readable in dark mode: a cream bar and asterisk on the yellow highlight.
  • The Chrome toolbar icon is a yellow tile, so the mark stays clear on light and dark toolbars.

0.2.0

  • Annotated is the fact-check layer for the web. A note can be a fact check, receipts, or context, with a verdict and links back to the sources.
  • Published passages highlight on the page you are reading. Wikipedia lines split by citation markers still light up. If a quote could match more than one place, it stays unmarked.
  • After you publish, you can post the take to X. A cited post stays attached, and suggested sources wait until you approve them.
  • The public site leads with the fact-check line, a home illustration, and a comment-first annotation page. On a narrow window, Sign in stays clear of the header.
  • Clip recording asks Chrome for the tab from the extension itself, and the microphone warning only appears when the microphone is actually blocked.
