Description from store
The default substitutions are based on XKCD comics 1288, 1625 and 1679, but the lists can be customised in the options page.
Substitutions can be done silently, underlined, or highlighted to call attention to the changed text.
Individual domains can be blacklisted to prevent the extension from running on certain sites.

- (2019-01-19) Michael Searcy: Having highlights makes this great. Why not add the original word as a title on the span (which would reveal itself on hover) like `<span title="tweet" class="XKCD_Substitutions_2_replaced" style="background-color: rgb(255, 243, 128);">poem</span>` It seems like it would be a simple change and then if you came across a substitution you couldn't remember you wouldn't have to go look it up.
- (2018-06-13) Daniel Crilley: It's great, and I'd love it if added the option to show the original word in the mouse-over, and also customizing the colour of the highlights.
- (2018-03-06) John Distefano-Bell: I absolutely loved this, and adding my own substitutions is a blast. Something I would love is to be able to export and import configs to be able to save setting between computers, or share them with friends.
- (2017-10-18) Leo P.: It's hilarious, and awesome, but I do wish there was a way to have it not work in text boxes you're currently typing in.
- (2016-08-26) Cody Leonard: This app is AMAZING. Given in a few days when I forget I have it I will be very confused, but until then this a great extension. Nice job. Favorite thing to look up: The LEGO Batman Movie
- (2016-05-16) Jason Schwarzenberger: Would be helpful if it would show the original in the mouse over/title text.
- (2016-05-13) ειΈι: the setting could not be changed (if I click save, everything gets cleared out). Don't know if it's the extension or problems on my end.
- (2016-02-20) Velizar Hristov: Seems to implement what it says. Although it's a bit hard to find articles which mention the substituted keywords.
