A great many companies position themselves as human-centric through a myriad of ways, right down to the visual language they adopt. In our current economic environment, however, these companies are beholden not only to their stakeholders, but also their shareholders. It is easy to forget that Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp are all publicly traded under the symbol, '$FB'.
To that end, DollarVision replaces many of the Western world's most prolific IPs with their stock abbreviation. It is not so much a critique as a simple visual reminder of the economic implications of businesses, journalism, and the web.
The list of replacements is not exhaustive, and will be updated in the future.
An additional note of interest is the way in which the extension highlights the limitation of language. Are we referring to Amazon the company, or Amazon the rainforest? Apple the computer, or apple, the fruit? Moreover all of a company's respective assets will appear the same - as with Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp - therefore sacrificing specificity.
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!
