1999!

We're all doomed, so let's party like it's 1999. Before the machines tried to end humanity, they gave us Comic Sans.

The robots are coming. The news is a lot. So before the machines tried to end humanity, they gave us Comic Sans, and we are going to use it. 1999! turns whatever website you're on into a loud, glorious, late-90s homepage. One click on. One click off. Party like it's the end of the world, because it might be. WHAT YOU GET • A polka-dot background that makes every page look like a freshly uploaded GeoCities site • Times New Roman, bright blue underlined links and rainbow dividers • Gray beveled buttons, because flat design was a mistake • A yellow banner announcing: "WE'RE ALL DOOMED. LET'S HAVE A LITTLE FUN." • A scrolling marquee, a huge flashing UNDER CONSTRUCTION sign and a row of vintage-style badges • A glowing retro counter telling you that you are survivor number 42,069 • A tiny pixel hamster dancing in the corner, because someone has to HOW IT WORKS Click the 1999! icon in your toolbar and the page transforms instantly. Click it again and everything goes back to exactly how it was. No reload, no leftovers. PERFECT FOR • Making the news slightly less terrifying • Pranking a coworker's screen share • Screenshots that need to look cursed • Remembering when the internet was weird and homemade • Just feeling something PRIVATE BY DESIGN 1999! only changes how a page looks. It does not read, collect or send page content, form entries, browsing history or personal information. It has no accounts, no analytics, no ads and makes no network requests. All code and artwork are bundled inside the extension and run on your device. It only acts on a tab when you click the icon, and only on that tab. It asks for the minimum permissions Chrome requires to do that and nothing more. GOOD TO KNOW • Works on most ordinary websites. Chrome does not allow any extension to change its own pages (chrome://) or the Chrome Web Store. • Some sites with unusual layouts may look even more chaotic than intended. That's the point. • All artwork and animations are original. 1999! is a parody tribute to the early web and is not affiliated with any website or brand. Best viewed at 800x600.
