A Chromium extension that spams the user with captchas and ads. Watch the demo here.
Our team wanted to build something that would interfere with productivity and make a mess out of someone's lovely computer. We started brainstorming and realised... Almost everyone has Adblock installed on their computers to eliminate those myriad ads which clutter screens to death.
So... why not play the UNO reverse card and make an Adblock'nt?
Captcha Cancer is a harmless browser extension made for Chromium browsers. It spawns BIG RED CAPTCHAS (TM) that you need to solve under 10 seconds. "Or else what?" you may ask. It's simple - your active page gets bukkake'd with sketchy advertisements from god-knows-where. Oh, and those inactive pages you left unattended for a minute? Tab back in and you'll be greeted by BIG RED CAPTCHAS (TM). And more ads than ex-es you've ever had.
While greatly tempted by the siren song of ChatGPT, we built the extension from scratch ourselves after going through Google's Extension 101 tutorials. The project was built mainly with JavaScript, but involved aspects of Html and CSS as well.
- None of us have ever built a browser extension before.
- None of us have ever used JavaScript before.
- None of us could understand the error messages in the browser.
World domination.
