# Retro Terminal View

Transform modern websites into nostalgic 1980s-style terminal displays! Experience the internet as if you're using a vintage computer terminal, complete with classic green-on-black monospace text and a blinking cursor.

### Key Features:
- Converts any website into an authentic retro terminal interface
- Classic green monochrome display
- DOS-style command prompt animations
- Removes ads and unnecessary visual elements
- Preserves all text content and links
- Collects image links in an organized list
- Toggle between normal and terminal view with one click
- Clean, distraction-free reading experience

### Perfect For:
- Retro computing enthusiasts
- Developers who prefer text-based interfaces
- Anyone seeking a distraction-free reading experience
- Users who want to reduce webpage clutter
- Fans of classic computer aesthetics

### How It Works:
Simply click the extension icon to toggle between normal view and terminal mode. When enabled, the extension transforms the current webpage into a clean, text-only terminal display while maintaining all functionality and navigation.

### Note:
- Works on most websites
- Some dynamic web applications may have limited functionality
- JavaScript-heavy sites may require page refresh when toggling modes

This is an open-source project. If you find it useful, consider supporting its development through the donation link in the terminal header.
