# Using the hoax.ly Browser Extension

The browser plugin is currently only available for Chrome. If the plugin is used accordingly, we will also create a version for Firefox.

Find it in the Chrome Webstore: <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/hoaxly>

The browser plugin checks the current URL and matches it with the hoax.ly index. If a hit occurs, the matching rewview will be displayed. If a review with a negative rating has been found, the browser Extension Icon turns red.&#x20;

Currently, usage is rather limited due to the small number of reviews in the hoaxly index, but this should change over time.

In addition, further measures are planned to provide feedback on a larger number of content: \
Warn also if there are reviews for a visited domain, or additional inclusion of <https://github.com/BigMcLargeHuge/opensources> as a source for problematic domains.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hoaxly.gitbook.io/documentation/en-user-documentation/using-the-hoax.ly-browser-extension.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
