The world is full of noise. I built NoiseFilter to cut through it.

News is everywhere, and it's never been harder to know what to trust. Who benefits from this article? Is it pushing an agenda? Where did the story even come from? I built NoiseFilter because people deserve better than headlines designed to manipulate — no rumours stacked on top of rumours, no clickbait dressed up as journalism. Not to think for you, but to give you the tools to think for yourself.

NoiseFilter is a Chrome extension (Manifest V3) that analyzes whatever you're reading with one click. Not just news — it works on research papers, blog posts, and product pages too.

For each piece of content, it breaks down:

Think of it like a GPS. It gets you where you're going most of the time, but you might still miss a turn. NoiseFilter isn't perfect. It just gives you a clearer picture of what you're actually reading.

Nothing exotic, mostly chosen for speed of shipping as a solo dev:

`chrome.i18n`

system, 15 languages from day oneI went with a strict freemium model: 10 free analyses, then a small monthly subscription. No accounts, no tracking, zero data retention by design — partly for GDPR simplicity, partly because it just felt like the right way to build a tool about trust.

A few things that weren't obvious going in:

`host_permissions`

entry. Small things matter a lot at review time.NoiseFilter is live on the Chrome Web Store right now, in 15 languages, with a free tier to try it before paying anything. I'm still early — figuring out distribution, collecting the first real feedback, deciding what to build next (a local analysis history is probably next on the list).

If you read a lot online and want a second opinion on what you're looking at, I'd genuinely appreciate you trying it and telling me what's wrong with it. That feedback is worth more to me right now than installs.
