3 Key Points

  1. A Manifest V3 Chrome extension performs text replacement, swapping phrases like 'AI-powered' with 'arse-powered' and 'artificial intelligence' with 'arse' across all page content.

  2. The extension uses a mutation observer to watch for dynamically inserted content and rewrites it in real time, walking text nodes to apply the transformation rules.

  3. Installation requires manual unpacking via Chrome's developer mode; no dependencies are needed and testing uses Node.js test files.
