FAQ

What does this Chrome extension do?
It overlays the automatic image tags that Facebook generates for images on the user's timeline, making visible the keywords Facebook's AI detects (e.g., objects, activities, location, events).
Why was the extension removed from the Chrome Web Store?
Facebook filed a trademark complaint due to the extension's name containing 'Facebook', so it was taken down.
How do I install it now?
Clone the repository from GitHub, then load it as an unpacked extension in Chrome via chrome://extensions with Developer mode enabled.
Does Facebook actually generate these tags for all photos?
Yes, since April 2016 Facebook has automatically added alt-text tags to uploaded images using a deep convolutional neural network built by its FAIR team.
