Source Reliability Plugin ("the extension") displays a trust score next to sources in Google search results, using a bundled reliability database. It lets you record whether you agree or disagree with a given score, and suggest sources that are not yet in the database.
The extension reads the page structure of google.com search results (result titles and links) in order to match each result's domain against its reliability database. It does not read your search query text, your browsing history on other sites, or the content of the pages you visit beyond google.com search result listings.
chrome.storage.local)chrome.storage.local)chrome.storage.local)This data is stored locally in your browser only. It is not transmitted to any server; the extension has no backend in this version. Uninstalling the extension deletes it.
None. No analytics, no third-party requests, no remote code.
If a future version connects to a content management system to keep the reliability database up to date, this policy will be updated to describe what that service receives before that version ships.
