A userscript implementation of Chris Addison's tweet (https://twitter.com/mrchrisaddison/status/871301830776631296), fixing your news articles one terrorist at a time.

How do I use this?

You need an add-on for your web browser which can run userscripts. Userscripts are tiny pieces of harmless web code (JavaScript) which can rewrite parts of a web page just after you load it. This one replaces the word 'terrorists' on news websites with 'these silly cunts' (and a few other things), in the name of accuracy.

More information about using userscripts is available here: https://github.com/OpenUserJs/OpenUserJS.org/wiki/Userscript-beginners-HOWTO If you're using Firefox you'll need an add-on called Greasemonkey. If you're using Chrome, Edge or Opera, you probably want Tampermonkey. Other forms of monkey are available.

Install

Just add terrorist-substitutions.user.js to your Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey user scripts. Click here to do it automatically if you've already got the add-on installed.

The script comes with some big news sites included by default - feel free you add your own @include line at the top, or submit a pull request for it to be merged with this master copy.

What does it do?

It just substitutes some words in news pages as your browser converts their code into what you see. Like this:

example

It doesn't send or receive any data from your computer, or place cookies, or read your email, or track your browsing, or decide to give you a permanent wedgie, legally change your name to Reggie, even mess up the pH balance in your pool.
