Trust Turtl Add to Chrome
Get started

Install Trust Turtl ...and Pin It!

Two quick minutes. By the end you'll have a friendly little turtle living in your Chrome toolbar, ready whenever you want a second opinion on a page.

What you'll do

Three small steps. Add Trust Turtl from the Chrome Web Store, pin it so the icon stays put, then click it on any page to see a rating.

You only need to do steps one and two once. After that, it's just a click whenever you're curious.

The steps

  1. Add it to Chrome

    Head to the Trust Turtl listing in the Chrome Web Store and hit the big blue Add to Chrome button. Chrome will pop up a confirmation. Click Add extension and you're in.

  2. Pin the turtle to your toolbar

    By default, Chrome tucks new extensions into a little puzzle-piece menu in the top right corner. Click that extension puzzle icon, find Trust Turtl in the list, and click the push_pin pin next to its name.

    The turtle icon will hop out of the menu and sit right there on your toolbar, ready to click.

  3. Click the turtle on any page

    Land on any article, blog post, or sketchy-looking page. Click the little green turtle in your toolbar. A popup opens, Trust Turtl reads the page, and you get a rating, a score, and a quick explanation in a few seconds.

    That's it. No account, no setup, nothing running in the background.

If something looks off

No turtle in the toolbar?

Open the puzzle extension menu and check the pin icon next to Trust Turtl is filled in. If it isn't, click it.

block
Icon is gray on a page?

Some pages are off limits, like the new tab, the Chrome Web Store, and internal chrome:// pages. Try it on a normal article instead.

refresh
Just installed and nothing happens?

Reload the tab. Pages that were already open before you installed need a quick refresh to wake up the extension.

lock
Worried about permissions?

Trust Turtl only reads a page when you click the icon. No background scraping, no history, no account. See how it works.

That's the whole thing

You've installed it, you've pinned it, and you know how to use it. From here on out, anytime a page makes you raise an eyebrow, give the turtle a click and see what it thinks.

Trust Turtl is a friendly second opinion, not the final word. For anything that really matters, still go read the source.
