Oil Spill Firefox Plugin Blacks Out BP Across the Web
By
Jess3 has developed a Firefox plugin that redacts – or blacks out – all mentions of British Petroleum across the web. The Black Oil Firefox plugin replaces all mentions of BP and accompanying terms like BP oil, BP gas, BP worldwide, and so on, with blacked out letters and dripping oil drops. Jess3 has plans to make a future version of this plugin turn any image taggged with BP to black and white and have oil drip under the photo.
As the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to wreak havoc on the environment and residents along the gulf shore, this plugin may not do much to stop the oil, but it’s a nice way to express anger and outrage over BP’s response (or lack thereof).
