A tool to help reduce unconscious biases

Welcome to Unbiasify

Unbiasify is a tool to help reduce the amount of unconscious bias that people face when perusing many aspects of the internet.

The current functionality includes the ability to obfuscate/remove names and avatars from linkedin.

If you'd just like access to the tool, you can install it over at the chrome store

How to use

After you have installed the extension you should be able to see a little unbiasify in your extensions list beside your address bar

Next; all you have to do is go to linked in and click that icon. Depending on what option you select in the dropdown all user names and/or images will be obsured, leaving you free to focus on what really matters; people's skills and experiences.

Ctrl+Shift+; on Windows and Cmd+Shift+; on Mac work as master toggles and toggle names and images on all supported sites.

Supported Sites

• Linkedin -- free version only
• Angellist
• Twitter

Using the file explorer, locate and open the unbiasify directory wherever you cloned/unzipped it to.
