The plug in that replaces royal gossip with indigenous news.

Description from store
Irritating royal gossip is smeared all over the internet.
Thanks to the coronation, this has reached a whole new level of unbearable.
For indigenous people, royal news is more than just annoying. That’s why Tangata Whenua have created Pīkari Mai, a plugin designed to shut up the headline-hungry royal family.
Pīkari Mai rids the internet of royal articles by replacing them with the latest Māori news drawn from a range of local media publishers. Honouring Kaituhi Māori (indigenous writers) by prioritising news stories written by, for and about indigenous people.

- I adore this extension - well done you! I wonder if it would be possible to include some more good indigenous news from over the pond in Australia.
- Kylie Skinner
- Amazing!

- Nice idea! I can think of several other topics I'd like to see muted with an extension like this. However, it doesn't work on all websites. Google News, which is one of the sites that has been showing me most of the c******tion news I've seen recently, isn't affected at all. It's a good start and I hope you'll work on it for other uses. The royals won't be going away just because their big event is over.

- It's a nice break from the pointless Royal nonsense all over the news, but the actual animation where the royal news is censored is very slow. Slow enough that you can still easily read the headline and get annoyed at the royals. Also the new indigenous news takes several seconds to show up. If you are just scrolling through a news site, this takes too long to be practical. The animation is only cute the first few times. Would love an option to speed up the animation, or even make it instant.
