What is Helloify?
Helloify is a Google Chrome and Firefox browser extension that injects the word "hello" randomly into web pages for comedic effect. When enabled, Helloify will scan the text content of web pages as you browse and replace common words with "hello" at random intervals.
The result is web pages that read very strangely, with the word "hello" appearing in places you would not expect. For example, a news article may read: "President Hello said in a speech today that the country's budget deficit is higher than hello expected" or a recipe may include ingredients like "2 cups hello, 3 tablespoons olive hello, 1 chopped hello".
It's designed to be a simple, silly way to make web browsing a more lighthearted and humorous experience. By subtly altering web page text, Helloify highlights the strangeness of language itself. The Chrome version has over 10,000 users and largely positive reviews.
The number of word substitutions made can be configured in the extension's options menu, to control the hello intensity. Users can also add custom words to replace as well as blacklist certain website URLs where they don't want any replacements made.
Overall, if you're looking for a way to make reading websites more fun and absurd, giving Helloify a try. The extension is free and works across most major browsers. Just don't install it if you need to actually retain information from web pages!
