NeutraLens Extension

Tired of toxic comments ruining your Reddit experience? NeutraLens is here to help you navigate the choppy waters of online discussions with our Chrome extension.

This tool empowers you to identify potentially biased and toxic comments, ensuring you can engage in meaningful conversations without getting dragged down by negativity.

-How NeutraLens Works-
NeutraLens analyzes Reddit comments for signs of personal bias and toxicity, providing subtle color hints next to each comment. Hover over a comment to get a quick breakdown of the analysis.

-The Analysis Process-
NeutraLens examines the tone and language used in comments, looking for indicators such as:
• Aggressive or inflammatory language
• Respectful disagreement
• Personal attacks
• Constructive criticism
• Emotional manipulation

Comments are then sorted into categories:
• Constructive - Blue
• Neutral - Light Blue
• Mildly Biased - Yellow
• Toxic - Orange
• Very Toxic - Dark Orange

Your Personal Toxicity Filter
NeutraLens acts like a toxicity filter for your Reddit browsing. It helps you focus on valuable discussions and avoid getting caught up in unnecessary negativity. Give it a try and see how it enhances your Reddit experience!

Your Data is Safe
NeutraLens prioritizes your privacy. We don't save your data or monitor your browsing habits.

Remember: NeutraLens doesn't judge the factual accuracy of comments. Instead, it focuses on the tone and civility of the discussion. A politely stated opinion, even if incorrect, won't be flagged as toxic. The goal is to help users avoid personally biased and toxic interactions, not to fact-check content.
