Whenever you visit a social network or a comments section, this extension will color known trans-friendly (green) and anti-trans (red) users/pages differently.This extension supports Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, Medium, YouTube, Wikipedia articles, search engine results and all the sites with Disqus comments.The initial version has been created through a mix of manual labeling and machine learning, but you can contribute with your own labels.No, the check is done offline, on your computer.This extension is focused on anti-trans (including anti-nonbinary) sentiment, of all flavors: radfem/terf alt-right etc. (although most of the data is about the first group). See the guidelines below for more details.Right click its link,->. Your contribution will help us improve this extension.While the data is stored locally on your computer, it's represented as a bloom filter . It's a data structure that "remembers" whether it contains something or not, but that is unable to explicitely list what it contains. It's susceptible to false positives, but there should be very few of them.

Yes, if you use Firefox for Android (on mobile, Chrome doesn't support extensions). Note however that you won't be able to right-click (and therefore set new labels).

Is there a mechanism in place to prevent malicious/fake reports?

Yes. While your overrides are immediately visible to you, changes are included in the publicly visible dataset only if they pass some trustworthiness criteria (including human validation).

What's the origin of this extension's name?

In the Death Note manga/anime, "having the shinigami eyes" means being able to see people's names and remaining lifespan just by looking at them. In a similar way, this extension allows you to see a person's trans acceptance orientation just by looking at them.

Why did you create this extension?

As a transgender person, I got used to be distrustful towards people. While guessing the attitudes of an openly conservative person or group towards transgender people is easy, this is much more difficult when you deal with communities that tend to be moderately progressive or with intersectional interests, such as the feminist community, the lesbian community, women's associations and the atheist community.

The purpose of this extension is to make transgender people feel more confident towards people, groups, and pages they can trust, and to highlight possible interactions with the trans-hostile ones (when this is not already evident, such as when discussing about common LGBT or feminist goals).
