Basically, I'm hugely interested in browser extensions that augment our experiences with the web. Last summer I wrote a pretty popular extension called Must Stache that will detect faces and apply mustaches to them. (Priceless GAF thread here)
So this weekend I wrote a new extension called "in my words". It lets you maintain a dictionary of words you don't like (for whatever reason; maybe you find certain words or phrases annoying or offensive). Once configured, as you browse the web, these words will be replaced with whatever replacements you choose. I have a few ideas for how I could imagine people getting real use out of it, but I'd like to see how you all see it.
Without further ado, you can install the extension from the Web Store here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ifallpipodahhpbnemkhiddofdkhlekg/details
The dictionary of words you want to replace is configured from the extension's options page.
Developers: I really wrote this thing to be an example in test-driven design in JavaScript (I sorta specialize in client-side TDD). If you're interested in learning JavaScript, I'd love if you checked out the tests & source.
