Pointless Web Content Swapper Extension

This is a simple plugin for making weird art mashups with web pages.

Why you should use it: You like the effect of mashing up content from different web pages.

How to use:
1. Go to a web page with text or images you want to absorb
2. Under the plugin's icon, select \"suck up text\" or \"suck up images\"
3. Go to another web page
4. Under the plugin's icon, select either \"swap out text\" or \"swap out images\"
5. The text or images from the first page will replace all the text/images on the current page.
6. Thrill at your art!

Note: once you've \"messed up\" the content on a web page, don't try to use it for anything productive. Just reload the page and all will be back to normal.
