This is a Firefox plugin which gives a confidence score to each of the links returned by the Google Search Engine.
This project is based on the fact of how much we can trust a link found over the Internet. This is a firefox plugin powered by a python Django framework in the backend which calculates a score for each link returned by the Google search engine after considering various factors.
Factors Considered The factors which are considered now is whether the links is using https or http protocol and the domain of the links.
The domains in the list [org,edu etc] are given higher priorities if found in the links, then comes the government websites such as [in,uk, etc] followed by the commcercial websites. Then a correlation function is applied on these resultset to generate a score which is in between 0 and 1 . Higher the score, better trust worthy are the links.
We have planned to consider various number of factors to contribute to give a more appropriate score. Such as number of web trackers working in the websites, number of out going links, Using sentimental analysis to get the motive of the content, do a back ground search of the author who wrote it etc.
