Gab.com is a free-speech alternative to Twitter, Facebook and other social media. It was created by Andrew Torba. Gab allows for free and open conversations regarding any topic without the fear of being banned or censored. It has been slandered as politically far right by several news sites, its competitors and Wikipedia, on which a politically biased article about Gab was written.

Dissenter

On 24 February 2019, Gab launched Dissenter, a Chrome extension and website that allows users to comment about any webpage using their Gab account. Currently the browser plugin/extension is now available for most popular internet browsers on most popular operating system types. Notably comments can be made on any URL with the Dissenter software, which includes making comments on sites where comments have been: disabled / the site has no comment feature / the user was banned on the site / the site censors certain comments.

Reception

It has been slandered as politically far right by several news sites.[2] Additionally a clearly politically biased article was written about it (Dissenter) on Wikipedia.
