Extension summary

It was once said that there was no coherent writing system for any language based on colour. Well now there is?

V 1.3

  • Now displays links with a big fat underline
  • Now maps ’ to '

V 1.2

  • Now matches font size
  • Transliterates quotation marks correctly

V 1.1

  • Now transliterates more stuff
  • Probably no longer removes unicode text from websites

When activated, this will attempt to replace all the ASCII text with colored circles, if for some reason you want to do that. Maybe you want to confuse a colorblind friend, I don't know.
