Chrome extension that replaces occurrences of 'the cloud' with 'my butt'

#12I really have to emphasize that nobody should ever install an extension like this. In exchange for a cheap chuckle you are letting a random individual have the access to read and modify the contents of every website you view. And as long as they don't change the permissions they can silently update the extension whenever they want.
If you think this is okay, you should not ever work on anything involving security or private data access, ever.

#13You hate cloud, we got it, but there are many other word replacement extensions, why is this one worth 1st page of HN?
Chill? :)
I mean, I wonder about it as well, given that it’s, what, ten years old now and cloud hasn’t been the buzzword in vogue in a long time. Today we need something-like AI-to-butt converter. “We are a ‘my butt first’ company”, “We expect everyone to use my butt at work”, “powered by my butt”…

#14Alternatively, cloud->clown.
Clown Computing, Clownflare, Google Clown Platform, etc.

#16I love the cloud to butt extension, but eventually had to disable it. It would occasionally interfere with the correct operation of sites I visited, and that wasn't worth the amusement of seeing "store your data in my butt" etc.
The extension-free, euphemism-treadmill solution is for everyone to regularly use and read "cloud" as if it were "butt". And anybody who doesn't like it can kiss my cloud!

#17Finally, an open source project that actually meets an urgent need we didn't realized we had.

No need to get all cloudhurt over it.
