Extension summary

Clippy is back! Old MS Word Office assistant is now back once again! Inside old Word applications Clippy was not so useful but he always had great comment or two. This extension will provide clippy inside every website you visit. For some website Clippy will make a random comment based on the public repository file. Checkout extension website on info how to contribute!

The default assistant Clippy has been heavily mocked in popular culture, being parodied, appearing in memes, and even being made fun of by Microsoft themselves from 2001 onwards. NOW HE IS BACK ONCE MORE INSIDE YOUR BROWSER!

best clippy for chrome
by test account, 2024-06-26

EDIT: Removed app from Chrome, but Clippy is still active and no way to close! Not even appearing in Task Manager (unless a function of Chrome??). SOOOO irritating! I used to love Clippy! So excited to get it back, but he only has 2 comments! Borrrring! Removing!
