javascript:

"":"Is guilty and everyone knows it"};
 
var b=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
 
b.innerHTML=b.innerHTML.replace(

I have written yet another Chrome extension inspired by this comic: [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xkcd-substitutions-plus/oppfdcfjocbkhcakmfhenlgimjmoohid "xkcd Substitutions Plus"] I did this since I couldn't find one that let you to edit the list of substitutions. I plan to upload the code to Free code too. I would love to hear suggestions on how to improve it :) {{unsigned ip|141.101.98.220}}
 
::You should probably disable your extension for this page (or make it correctly work with the textarea), since you seem to be changing other code posted in the comments with it every time you make an edit. [[User:Mcef|mcef]] ([[User talk:Mcef|talk]]) 15:58, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
 
:::: It's a good idea, I'll add a list of excluded pages to the extension. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.231.57|108.162.231.57]] 18:59, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

I just logged on to #xkcd on foonetic, and I saw this: <code>Topic for #xkcd is: "Hey, it looks like you're updating your resume!" - MS buys LI | https://goo.gl/FDyl1f | '''s/clone/clown/g''' | #xkcd = take a joke too far | bearachute has lost his sense of self | Today is a good day for a donut | New element names announced: nihonium, moscovium, tennessine and oganesson http://goo.gl/v4b437</code> (bold mine).

It appears that the extension was removed from the Mozilla add-ons site and can no longer be installed on Firefox. It’s still available on the Chrome Web Store though! [[Special:Contributions/162.158.78.70|162.158.78.70]] 20:26, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
