Summary

News humor is a chrome extension to liven up the news! It replaces keywords on news sites to more colorful alternatives. See a humorous change in the world, when headlines change from "Oil Prices Plummet From Sanctions From Iran Lifting" to "Liquid Hydrogen Prices Plummet From Sanctions on Mars Lifting." A diverse and varied set of replacements is used, spanning the selectable categories of XKCD, Politics, Space, and Other. Use the menu to select which to use, and a slider for the intensity of the replacements. You can add (or remove) whatever domain you're on with a simple click of a button. In a later version, I'll make it so you don't have to reload the page for those settings to take effect.
