ChromeDash Extension

A custom, all-purpose, word aliaser!

You can now create your own aliases in addition to en and em dashes!
Moreover, the extension comes with built-in alias packs, including Greek, accents, and math symbols!

Simply enter two dashes (hyphens) for an en–dash, and three for an em–dash! This can be changed, as can all other aliases you make!

This works nearly anywhere, in google, hangouts, messenger, facebook, etc.

If it doesn't work on a site that you use, be sure to report a bug, or contact us!

Feel free to send feedback or issues, or ask for increased dash functionality!

Thanks so much for your support!

Hannah Freedman (ID: 00000025ba38dc64) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/28/2020 Doesn't work at all for me. Very disappointing EDIT: A day after installing it, it suddenly started working out of the blue! Not sure what changed, but I'm glad it works as intended.

Amber Riddler (ID: 0000001dd2af0c1f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/14/2020 AMAZING! I downloaded this after tumblr discontinued native support for -- and ---. This is the single ONLY solution I found for this problem (after a week of searching and trying multiple others). So far it works as expected and I hope that continues.

Brian Chia (ID: 0000000b76a25c76) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/05/2020 When it works it's great. But after the initial install, I found that it only works sporadically. Sometimes turning it on and off will help, and other times it's useless. Love the concept, so if the bugs / QC can be improved this would be an amazing extension.
