Hey. Good point about the profanity. I'll add an option toggle it on and off. It was meant to be sort of a fun tool for myself.
About tracking, it is absolutely not tracking anything or anyone. That line of code referring to gtmetrix.com is from the sample google extension which i just forgot to remove. https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted#resources I'll remove it now. Sorry for the confusion. I hate tracking and would never do it to anyone without their permission (or even with their permission)

RIMR - I've just uploaded a new version to the chrome store that has a switch to turn off profanity. Keep an eye on the chrome store for version 1.3, it should be available in an hr or so
Also, it's clearly tracking me, but nowhere can I find anything that discloses that. I can only assume you're collecting/selling my data, so there's absolutely no way I am installing this, and I am DEFINITELY not recommending it for workplace use, because I don't know what kind of data you might be collecting.
If you want to make some cash on these things, add some ads. You definitely have space in that injected header to fit a banner or two.
