Sift — Scam Misinformatio

Sift is a Chrome extension designed to be installed on a parent or grandparent's computer — by you.

TWO SHIELDS IN ONE EXTENSION

🛡 Scam Protection
Detects and flags tech support fraud, fake prize pages, IRS impersonators, phishing URLs, gift card payment requests, and 15+ other patterns that commonly target older adults. Links every warning to the FTC Scam Guide.
📰 Misinformation Context
Quietly surfaces the bias rating and factual accuracy of known news sources. When your parent reads a story on a flagged source, Sift shows a gentle banner with links to how AP News, Reuters, and PBS are covering the same story — without telling anyone what to think.
HOW IT WORKS
- Install it on their browser in 90 seconds
- Sift runs silently in the background on every page
- A small banner appears when something needs attention
- Every banner is dismissible in one click
- Nothing is ever blocked
PRIVACY FIRST
Sift has no backend. All analysis happens entirely on-device. No browsing data is ever collected, stored, or transmitted. See our full privacy policy at trysift.app/privacy.
