Klikkikuri Paatti

Converts clickbait headlines on news sites to better match the article contents

Know instantly what the news is about – avoid unnecessary clicks and read only the stories that genuinely interest you. Klikkikuri Paatti is a browser extension that saves your time and makes reading the news meaningful again. 💡 **Functionality:** The purpose of a clickbait headline is to force the reader to open the article just to find out the basic facts. When the article's topic is already in the headline, you don't have to waste time opening "mystery articles" and being disappointed by them. The extension identifies supported Finnish news websites and automatically corrects their click-seeking headlines directly in your news feed – without you having to do anything or install separate applications. ⭐ **Key Features:** * Open the news website normally and let the extension handle the rest. Clickbait headlines are swapped on the fly for corrected versions. You will only notice the extension's existence through a calmer news day and reduced irritation. * You can send feedback about headlines directly through the extension. Based on the feedback, the headline correction can be re-evaluated if necessary. Giving feedback is completely voluntary. * Do you want to turn all headlines into super-dry facts, or just fix the most annoying clickbait? You can adjust the level yourself. * Designed with a tinfoil hat on (privacy-first). Klikkikuri downloads the database of corrected headlines locally to your device. The extension does not track your browsing history or reading habits. * The background code running the extension is fully open-source and auditable by the community (EUPL-1.2 license). ⚙️ **How does it work?** 1. Klikkikuri's backend service analyzes news headlines using language technologies, user feedback, and identified stakeholders. 2. If a headline is classified as misleading, a dry but content-accurate who-what-where version is created for it, which is then added to a downloadable correction list. 3. The Klikkikuri Paatti extension periodically downloads this correction list and updates the sites' clickbait headlines to the corrected versions. ❌ **What does Klikkikuri NOT do?** * Klikkikuri does not alter or censor news content. Whether Yle leans left, right, up, or down – Klikkikuri does not interfere with that. It strictly addresses misleading clickbait headlines. The actual news text, the article's own headline, images, and original factual content remain completely untouched. * The extension does not protect against fake news or evaluate the truthfulness of claims; it solely ensures that the headline matches the actual content of the news. * Only supported sites receive automatic headline correction. * Get in the way. * Act as a news reader app, or provide a list of news – you still have to browse your chosen news sources. * Work on Twitter, Facebook, or other social media platforms. * Change the headlines of sports events. * Klikkikuri does not save your browsing history, reading habits, or other personal data. Download Klikkikuri Paatti and enjoy a cleaner, calmer, and more honest news day!
