Chrome Extensions
Two Chrome extensions I built to fix small everyday annoyances in the browser. Both are free, do one thing, and collect no data. Here is what they do and where to get them.
Detour Reader
Detour Reader opens the page in your active tab on archive.today. One click jumps to the newest existing snapshot, and if there isn't one yet it archives the page fresh. It is handy when a page is slow, broken, or likely to change, and when you want a stable copy you can come back to.
It also gets you past soft paywalls: instead of the live page you get an archived copy that loads clean, with no popups, cookie walls, or newsletter overlays in the way. The archive is permanent too, so a link you save today still resolves to the same text years from now, even after the original is edited or taken down. That makes it good for citing and preserving what a page actually said. Use it responsibly. It is meant for reading and keeping a record, not for dodging subscriptions you should be paying for.
The source and privacy policy are on GitHub. No data is collected.

Elevator — Background Music for Shared Tabs
Chrome shares audio from one tab at a time. Elevator plays music inside the tab you choose, so that music is captured whenever you share that tab's audio in Google Meet, Zoom, Discord, and similar apps. It is a small trick for adding background music to a call or a shared screen without a second device or a virtual audio cable.
It is also an easy way to make any screen-sharing presentation more interesting. Share a tab, add your own background music, and a flat demo or walkthrough suddenly has a soundtrack. A quiet product tour, a design review, or a workshop all feel more alive with the right track playing underneath, and you stay in control of the volume and the vibe the whole time. It turns a routine share into something people actually remember.
