amazing way to experience his art project Abstract Browsing interactively and without limits
as shown in pictures, this extension changes the color of the text or image field,
but nothing can be obtained from the website. just blank colorful boxes in the place where an image or text would've been.
Nothing special about this, really.
Wouldve been cool if wikipedia would've been colorful instead of just blank boxes
super cool
