This extension checks to see if you're going to a URL that's owned by Gawker Media. If you are, it will send you to a video of Madness - One Step Beyond instead.

You can change where you get sent in the Options page.

Version 1.7 - Updating to Manifest v2 so it will stay live in the store.

Version 1.6 - Testing Analytics.

Version 1.5 - Changed the badge color and number.

Version 1.4 - Removed excess permissions request.

Version 1.3 - Added a version badge to the icon so you can tell when it's updated.
