Hey Darius, I love this extension buuuuuut…

I’ve had it installed for a few days now (I use RockMelt, based on Chromium) and lately it’s been monkeying with some page elements. Stuff just wasn’t loading properly, so Iunno, probably not worth fixing but I thought it might be worth adding a warning that it might not be compatible with Chromium based browsers. Or it could have been a coincidence, but disabling the plugin did seem to fix the problems…

I read that there are 4 types of gamers. Achievers, Socializers, Explorers, and Killers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartle_Test). It seems to me you are a killer. “These gamers love to sow destruction…”

Actually that gives me a really good idea. A tautology extension, wherein every word on a webpage is replaced with itself. So in the end you get the same website but it took twice as long to load.

Wow, that’s a powerful extension, seeing as I’m on Safari, haven’t installed it and your page says:

we should refer to “exploitationware” as “exploitationware” from here on out. I created a Chrome extension called Exploitify that replaces “exploitationware” with “exploitationware”, “exploit” with “exploit”, and “exploits” with “exploits”.
