Our Take

Cheetodon is a privacy-first Chrome extension that does one thing and does it well: it makes reading the news slightly less exhausting by replacing certain mentions with nicknames like "Orange Cheeto," "Tiny Hands," "Cheeto Jesus," and "Mango Mussolini." Seven built-in options, pick your favorite or let it rotate daily. The best part? Zero tracking, zero data collection—everything happens locally in your browser. It even morphs text with a custom "Puppet Warp" animation so replacements feel satisfyingly sly. Install it, toggle it on, and watch headlines transform before your eyes.

Sometimes the news is heavy. Sometimes you just want a little humor with your information. Cheetodon says "here's both." It's privacy-first, it's funny, and it works everywhere—news sites, social feeds, search results. That's the entire pitch. Install from the Chrome Web Store and make headlines bearable again.

A privacy-first Chrome extension that automatically replaces news headlines, swapping his name with sharp nicknames like 'Orange Cheeto' or 'Tiny Hands' so headlines land softer
