“A browser extension that alerts delivery riders when they are underpaid by the Uber-algorithm”
“UberCheats was an extension for Google Chrome with which Uber riders could verify the travel distance the company’s algorithm used to calculate their payment. For every ride documented in the Uber App, the extension would plug the start and end locations into Google Maps and compare the distance given to the one detailed in the summary by Uber. If the discrepancy was too big, it would alert the drivers and give them information on how they could contact the company to claim the money they were owed.”
