From the project README

An excerpt from the repository, fetched Nov 13, 2026.

Read the project’s introduction
cloud-to-butt Chrome extension that replaces occurrences of 'the cloud' with 'my butt' Direct download of crx file Note that there are forks of this extension that simply replace 'cloud' with 'butt'. In my personal opinion, that approach is too broad and it's less funny as a result, but it is clearly a very polarizing issue in the cloud-to-butt user community. Forks are free to do whatever they like. But officially, this extension replaces only the phrase described above, and therefore it did not replace your cloudflare URLs with buttflare URLs. Thank you for your concern. Screenshot Gallery http://www.flickr.com/groups/cloud-to-butt/ Installation In Chrome, choose Window > Extensions. Drag CloudToButt.crx into the page that appears.

Reminds me of several years ago when the extension Cloud to Butt was popular, which (predictably) replaces mentions of the "cloud" with "butt" [0]. It created at least a few funny stories [1]. I guess when the cloud hype blew over, new hypes emerged only to be tackled by extensions like these.
