Full 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. Each character has its own custom behavior. This browser extension brings shimejis to the web and that is why it is available on your desktop computer running Windows, Mac, or Chrome OS. New in version 2.0: Each character has its own behavior. You can throw shimejis around with inertia. Shimejis will interact with elements on the page. They will perform animations on their own. Some animations are rare, and will only be shown occasionally. You can have as many shimejis on your screen as you want. Animations are more realistic compared to the previous version. You can easily toggle on/off shimejis at any time using the context menu by right-clicking a web page or clicking on the extension's button in the browser toolbar.	Access websites blocked in your country, company, or school with Hola. Hola is free and easy to use! You do NOT need to sign up or open a Hola account for most sites - just add to Chrome and start using. Hola enables you to access websites blocked or censored in your country with its unique and fast tunneling technology. The Hola extension works 100% standalone. It does not link to, nor encourage the download of any other products and is fully functional as is, without requiring any additional download. The free version unblocks most websites for a limited period of time. To unblock all websites with no time limits, sign-up and subscribe to Hola Premium - you don't need to install anything! If you have any technical issues please write to us at [email protected] Hola requires the following permissions: Proxy: Let Hola extension proxy your traffic through a server in another country to change your IP and unblock restricted sites. Why? This is the basic requirement for unblocking a website. AllHosts/WebRequest/WebRequestBlocking: Let Hola extension check every web request and modify it. Why? Hola is the fastest unblocker because it uses split-tunneling technology to only proxy the minimum number of web requests needed to unblock a site - and only when necessary. See more
