Instantly see if a website's reviews are cryptographically verified, platform-verified, or just plain text anyone could write. Is This Review Real? — SignedReviews Trust Detector scans every website you visit and tells you whether the reviews you're reading are truly trustworthy. Five trust tiers at a glance: 🟢 Cryptographically Signed — Reviews are HMAC-SHA256 signed by SignedReviews. Tampering is mathematically detectable — anyone can independently verify. 🟡 Platform-Verified — Reviews are collected by a third-party platform (Trustpilot, Yotpo, Judge.me, etc.) that claims to verify purchases. But you must trust their servers — there's no independent way to check. 🟠 Self-Reported — Reviews come from Google, Facebook, Shopify's native system, or schema markup. The business controls what's displayed with no purchase verification. 🔴 Unverified Testimonials — Plain text on a page. Anyone could have written them, and the business can change or remove them at any time. ⚪ No Reviews Detected — No review system found on this page. Why it matters: Most online reviews cannot be independently verified. SignedReviews is the only platform that cryptographically signs every review — creating a permanent, tamper-proof record anyone can check. This extension helps you spot the difference instantly. Privacy: This extension does NOT collect, store, or transmit your browsing history or personal data. It scans the page you're viewing for known review platform signatures and, only when a SignedReviews badge is detected, fetches public aggregate review stats from the SignedReviews API. No user-identifiable information ever leaves your browser.
