GLARE Extension

Have you ever looked at web pages and thought \"I really hate the letter R, I want it to be replaced with the letter P\"? I know I have. That's why I created GLAPE, the world's stupidest extension. It changes R to P. It doesn't do anything on Google domains because that appears to break everything. Likely it will break other websites too! All in good fun, I say.

Pemembep: If you'pe not having tpouble peading it, you'pe not GLAPING hapd enough!
