Rewrites news headlines into happier versions. Sarcasm slider included. Reads the news through rose colored glasses. Every headline gets happier. You choose how sarcastic. The news is a lot. Rose Colored Glasses rewrites the headlines on your favorite news sites into happier versions, right on the page, while everything else stays exactly where it was. Click "Restore originals" any time and the real news comes back. No account. No API key. No setup. Install it, open a news site, watch the headlines flip. PICK YOUR FLAVOR Ten humor styles: Wholesome, Dry, Absurd, Dad jokes, Unhinged optimism, Beautiful feet enjoyer, Squirrel misadventures, Shakespearean, Infomercial pitchman, and Midwest nice. Then set the sarcasm slider: 0 is sincere sunshine, 10 is the full Onion. The popup's rose tint deepens as you slide. Flip on "Fully checked out" and facts become optional. Headlines rewrite automatically as you browse (you can turn that off), including new ones that load as you scroll. A counter on the icon shows how many headlines got happier on the current page. WORKS ON most popular US news sites such as AP News, Google News, CNN, NPR, and Reuters. Reading something else? Open the popup and click "Enable on this site" — it asks Chrome for permission for that one site only, and you can remove it any time from the options page. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Headline text is the only page content that ever leaves your browser, and a random install ID enforces a fair daily limit — it identifies no one. If your device supports Chrome's built-in on-device AI, rewrites happen entirely on your machine and nothing leaves your browser at all. No accounts, no analytics, nothing sold. Full privacy policy: https://johnfutia99.github.io/rose-colored-glasses/privacy.html The daily rewrite allowance is free and resets every day. When it runs out, the extension tells you nicely and leaves the page alone.
