Get Rid of 'Viral' Headlines With This One Weird Browser Extension

Alison Gianotto a New York-based developer better known as snipe, has given users a way to hide from the madness. Her plug-in for Chrome, called Downworthy, translates certain common words in viral headlines to their more accurate equivalent.

“Literally” becomes “Figuratively.”

“Incredible” becomes “Painfully Ordinary.”

And “Will Blow Your Mind” becomes “Might Perhaps Mildly Entertain You For a Moment.”
