Empathy Extension (Kenya)
Empathy Extension (Kenya) is a free add-on available for the Chrome browser. Developed by krahd, this extension aims to help users become more aware and empathetic towards global events, specifically the Garissa massacre in Kenya.
The extension works by replacing certain words on webpages related to Kenya and the incident with words related to France. Words such as "Kenyan," "Kenya," "Africa," "black students," "Nairobi," and "Garissa" are replaced with "French," "France," "Europe," "white students," "Paris," and "Lyon." This alteration is intended to make the news appear more relatable and impactful to users.
To use the extension, simply click on the Kenyan flag icon located next to the URL bar. This will toggle the extension on and off, allowing users to switch between the modified and original webpage content.
Please note that a Firefox version of the extension is also available for download on the Mozilla Firefox Add-Ons website.
Empathy Extension (Kenya) is a useful tool for those who wish to gain a different perspective on global events and enhance their understanding and empathy towards different cultures and situations.
