Overview

GNU Terry Pratchett. Show user when 'Clacks-Overhead' appears in HTTP headers.

This extension is a tribute to the late Terry Pratchett (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett). It displays an icon when the user visits a website sending a "Clacks Overhead" message. If the user clicks on the icon, it will display the message and animated clacks semaphore code. More information can be found here: http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/ Notes: 1. This extension does not collect any data or send any information anywhere. 2. All code is open source on Github: https://github.com/newfolder0/chrome-clacks Contributors: - Peter Bell (original author) - Charlie Wheeler-Robinson (bug hunting, refactoring, improving in early versions) - Jimmy Nyström (code) - Melanie Wilberforce (icons) - Rob Grundy (who made the Firefox extension) for sending me the clacks icons used in the animation - Backspindle Games for producing the clacks icons in the animation - Sap1ens, jwakely, and Amy Atha-Nicholls (generously offering new icons) - yousuf811 on Github (squashing bugs) - Jarek Glowacki for some CSS help - Jake Heimark (hmk on GitHub) for fixing the manifest and keeping this extension alive in 2024 -See GitHub issues and pull requests for others

A fun little surprise to find random sites with the Clacks headers now and then.
