Have you ever wanted to slack off at work and mindlessly scroll through Reddit or some other mind numbing entertainment platform, but were too afraid your boss would catch you in the act?

Join me in creating a little helper in disguising our dissociative escapades – namely creating an extension that would allow the toggling between the classic Reddit interface and that of Microsoft Outlook.

By the way, it just so happened I picked these two as the central figures, but I think this video should help in creating similar pairings, as I have covered pretty much all the important aspects of such a task.

If you wanna check it out, after getting the source files from the repo, you'll have to do this, depending on the browser (these are the ones I worked with, there's definitely more):

- Chrome:
1. Navigate to chrome://extensions.
2. Tick the "Developer mode" toggle (top right).
3. Press the "Load Unpacked" button (top left).
4. Select the "src" directory in which you have the source files (has the manifest.json file).

- Firefox:
1. Navigate to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
2. Press the "Load Temporary Add-on" button.
3. Select the "src" directory in which you have the source files (has the manifest.json file).
