## What is Cloudhiker?
Cloudhiker was created by Kevin Woblick to revive the discovery experience of the old Web 2.0 days.
You will be presented a completely random website out of a strictly curated set of sites. If possible, the website will directly be shown to you so you can explore and interact with it. You won't find any clickbait stuff or low-effort blog articles here, but websites that are really exciting, weird, astonishing, or dedicated to learning. Some will make you laugh, some will make you think. And some can help you with your work by providing exceptionally helpful tools.
This browser extension lets you discover new websites without using the Cloudhiker website itself.
