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.

    MS cares about one thing there: download numbers. Because when people using Edge go to the extension store, Microslop will be featured as a popular extension, which will lead to people learning about why that’s so.
