Yale had the opportunity to change the name of one of Yale’s 12 existing residential colleges, Calhoun College. John C. Calhoun (1782-1850) was one of slavery’s greatest advocates and strongly opposed legal attempts to ban slavery in the United States. Yale announced on 27 April 2016 that it intends to retain the name of Calhoun College. Students of color continue to be actively oppressed every day.
In solidarity with student protests, this plug-in for Google Chrome changes all mentions of “Calhoun College” on Google Chrome to “#WrongMoveYale, and “Benjamin Franklin College” or “Ben Franklin College” or “Benny Frank College” to “Aretha Franklin College.” The symbolic replacement of these colleges’ names does not in any way negate the shameful history of slavery. Rather, we want to address this atrocious past by no longer glorifying one of the strongest proponents of slavery.
Yale, changing Calhoun College’s name was possible. We’ve done it. So can you.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
