[NetBehaviour] A Google Chrome extension

Fri Feb 26 17:29:06 CET 2016

That's going to be tricky. You'll need to go through word by word, checking
for matches to the ones that you want to change. If a match is found then
you want the script to ignore the blank space replacement. If the word is
not a match then you want to go through each character and replace it with
an   character. Does that make sense?
