My XKCD Substitutions
Extension Delisted
This extension is no longer available in the official store. Delisted on 2025-09-15.
This Chrome extension uses the substitutions from XKCD to make your news stories more appealling.
Having been a big fan of XKCD for as long as I can remember, and as I am interested in programming I thought I would give creating my first Chrome Extension a go by creating a simple word substituter.
All of the word suggestions come from the following three XKCD cartoons.
http://xkcd.com/1288/
http://xkcd.com/1625/
http://xkcd.com/1679/
All credit for these hilarious word substitutions goes to XKCD.
This is a very pale imitation of the fantastic app by alec.posney check out it out here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xkcd-substitutions/jkgogmboalmaijfgfhfepckdgjeopfhk
