Extension summary

Shimejis are little characters or desktop buddies that play around on the sites you visit. They interact with the elements on the page. You control their behavior. Pick them up with your mouse pointer, drag them around, and drop them where you want. They can walk, crawl, climb, and jump all over the place. To have a little bit more fun you can also let them throw elements from a web page. They interact with all your favorite web sites. There are many shimeji characters to choose from.

User reviews
It's a really fun extension but whoever created the Bakugo one clearly ships kacchaco and it's uncomfortable to see one of the actions that portrays that when you don't ship it like ship whatever you want but it kind of feels forced onto me when I see it. I just want to see my favorite character man not a ship I don't like, it's really hard to ignore and I got the extension specifically for him so I'm going to delete but rather than that it's a good extension.
