This feels like a good way to get malware.

Make Microsoft and Google cry by using Linux and a different web browser

Chrome

Ugh.

Um.... If you're still using Chrome, that's on you.

If you really want to freak Microsoft out, switch to Linux. Nothing terrifies them more than the moment you decide to leave.

Oh you you really ahowed google and Microsoft who's boss, now make sure you enable analytics so that google can legally say you gave them permission to track every interaction you have.

It'll only need a couple more coal power plants and unfettered access to the water table

How brave, using Google Chrome to protest Microsoft... with an extension that only changes things locally. I promise that Microsoft doesn't care one iota about you renaming things to Microslop with an extension. This is like proudly calling yourself a protester because you hung a sign up in your room where nobody else can see it. I guess it could annoy them a tiny bit if they see it become really popular I guess?

In other news, it's really funny seeing an AI summary at the top of this article.

Librewolf, is my response.

If you want to make Microsoft's CEO cry then you install Linux and convince all of your friends to do the same.

Using their OS, feeding them telemetry, being opted into their cloud storage but swapping some letters in your browser content is about as useless as mopping a sewer pipe.

You can do this in uBlock Origin without having to install another add-on by adding the following to My filters and enabling Allow custom filters requiring trust

*##+js(rpnt, #Text, "Microsoft", "Microslop")
*##+js(rpnt, #Text, "microsoft", "microslop")
*##+js(rpnt, #Text, "MICROSOFT", "MICROSLOP")

This will probably break some things but I'm not sure I care enough to figure out what. Enjoy.

Chrome is not a solution, it is a major part of the problem.
Switch to Firefox, and preferably switch to Firefox on Linux.

Firefox extension here - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/microslop/

Chrome extension link here - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/microsoft-to-microslop/hlkljlkdinjnbfmclionhbefbnefcgll?pli=1

What an idiotic article, from the headline down.

Locally replacing some letters with some other letters is going to make Microsoft's CEO cry? Really?

Also, I'll not be using Chrome, lol.

Ew, Chrome.

Yeah, let's make fun of one slop peddling giant by adding some spyware to another slop peddling giant's product (that's also spyware)

Waiting for the Firefox version of this.

Microsoft's CEO won't give even the slightest fuck about you doing this.

Literally this morning a client had a production problem. I asked for documentation and they sent a SharePoint link. I replied that we do not have or want access to their Microsoft ecosystem. They wasted over an hour trying to figure out how to email me a set of logs because their MS Org configurations do not allow sharing of files outside of company hardware. Good shit.

When I was your age, we called them Micro$oft. Too bad there were no extensions in Netscape Navigator.

Using Chrome for this is ironic.

"Wnat to make a billion dollar company cry? use an even worse billion dollar companies attempt to stranglehold control of the internet!"

I don't get why these lazy one-off text replacement extensions keep making "tech news". You can do this shit easily with a short userscript, and there are plenty of extensions for practically every browser that let you set your own text replacement settings. No need for individual extensions for each.

• slams -> literally disintegrates the bloodline of
• keyboard -> leopard
• cloud -> butt
• microsoft -> microslop
• 

lol microslop was the one that removed all the features. I just removed the spyware (windows itself)

This reminds me of the old cloud to butt extension

It's rather sad when such extensions don't refer to their source code in descriptions.
Meanwhile, Google Chrome extensions are to be updated automatically.
Sorry, I won't install it, since I have no trust in the source of it, and I care about my time to not re-check it on every update.
