Extension summary

Analyze keywords

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.

User reviews

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.

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.

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.
