Oldskoolizer Extension

This is an experimental 8-bit transformation for Chrome.

What is supported:
- Change all fonts by something more Commodore-64-ish.
- Pixelize images.
- Reduce colors by using C64 16 colors palette.
- Add full-page scanlines overlay.

What is broken:
- font is ascii -only, foreign languages are unsupported for now.
- html content is changed once after loading. So no pixelization if images change. dynamically,

Therin Ashfox (ID: 000000703a4416cb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/08/2022 Love this extension! Makes web browsing feel like a nostalgic experience.

Parker-Riley “Jitty” Strickland (ID: 000000e908fd8502) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/24/2021 Not all of the images are pixelized thst is a probloem

Justin Carroll (ID: 0000009932f42e4c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/29/2019 Awesome extension, really nice for watching Youtube videos of old 80s/90s video games, adds a more realistic look to those games. However, the "pixelize images" and "quantize colors" won't turn off. "CRT overlay" is the only option that will turn off and on. I tried old versions of Chrome (versions 54 and 50 from 2016) but I still had the same problem, so it's probably not Chrome. Maybe it's DirectX? I'm using DirectX 12. If I could at least turn off "quantize colors" it would be perfect because all I really want is the scanlines.
