The evolving process means that the company is currently talking with more security institutions worldwide to monitor and update this list, and iterations of it will roll out after the initial release.
Users do not have to be a Surfshark customer to utilise this new tech.Ī list of untrustworthy websites that the extension picks up was taken from and reviewed by Surfshark security experts. If people are Surfshark users already, they can toggle this feature on or off under the VPN settings in their extension. Once installed to their Chrome or Firefox browser, the extension will activate the FNW feature by default. This way, users can make informed decisions and further look at fact-checking their information. The new technology detects and highlights website links from various media and other websites that are known to spread fake news and misinformation. In a bid to prevent the spread of misinformation, Surfshark has announced the release of its fake news warning (FNW) extension for Chrome and Firefox.
