Pixel Piranhas


I really hate it when I’m exposed to some horrible news online, and feel powerless. There is nothing I can do, I am not responsible, and yet at the same time I have this feeling “this shouldn’t be happening”. There is a temptation to immediately react – if it was printed, I would crumple up the paper and throw it away – yet, reading pixels on the screen I don’t have the right gesture to express my discontent. So I made this little browser extension. Click on a button, and a horde of cursors, like hungry piranhas, will slowly rip the web page apart for you. Sounds fun? Install on Firefox or Chrome.
