He who must not be named - at least if you're using Chrome.

I'm tempted to install Chrome just to get the plugin.

I'm running Chrome, and would loved to have had the app.

An error occurred:
Item not found. This item may have been removed by its author.​

I got the same error. It was removed, so I made my own. It's only 1 line in JavaScript. It's a simple replace function call in JavaScript. Just one line. I went to this thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/breaking-down-the-2016-potus-race-contenders-issues.831913/

and it was funny to read it with the replacements.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Although funny it's a pretty useless extension so bye bye.

Edit: I can see there are already in existence some extensions that also replace text in a web page with user given parameters. For Chrome and Firefox (called add-on in Firefox).

[edit] For the youngsters in the crowd, the guy on the bottom is Richard Milhous Nixon. People used to call him "Tricky Dick".

hmmmm... google google google...

Ah ha!

Q: Why was Richard Nixon called "Tricky Dick"?
A: According to About.com's Steve Smith, the nickname "Tricky Dick" for Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the United States, was a response to smear campaign he ran against Helen Douglas when both were competing for a Senate seat in 1950. He was first referred to as "Tricky Dick" in a 1950 newspaper campaign funded by a Democratic committee urging citizens to “Look at Tricky Dick Nixon’s Republican Record.”​

He would later on, REALLY live up to the name. And of course, The Washington Post was kind of involved with uncovering that.

Clinton announces exciting discovery that time exists in yesterday's speech. Time had no comment.

I believe in an America always moving toward the future

UK here is replaced by England for good reasons. I'd like to read how the Scottish would be.
Sorry, I guess I know. They can be found with the Irish in the pub arguing which has the better whiskey.
(I prefer the Scottish single malt btw ...)

Well, their offspring aren't always much better. Trump and his ilk might give this some thought.

On the other hand
colonization did spread European Enlightenment around the world.
