[NetBehaviour] A Google Chrome extension

[Pall Thayer]

Hi Dave,

I hadn't seen Nick's Deletionist but it sounds familiar. Either he has
mentioned it to me or I've come across it before. Fun to play with.

Chrome extensions are pretty easy to create. They're mostly just
javascript. I used regular expressions to search and replace text in the
current document. I've attached the source code if you're interested in
exploring it.

Best r.
